Our tour guide Sergio was amazing! You get on the ferry to get to both attractions but before boarding you go through security that is very similar to TSA. Once we arrived to the Statue of Liberty we stayed as a group and then got to explore a little on your own before getting on ferry to Ellis Island. (Note: if you want food get it at the Statue of Liberty stop) Ellis Island was nice you get a headset for guided tour which we were not able to enjoy unfortunately. We had another attraction planned so we had to leave fairly early. My recommendation is do not plan another activity on the day you book this one. You will not have enough time to enjoy Ellis Island. All in all great experience and happy we did it.

Horrible service. Dont waste your money to book the tour here. If you want, you just need to go there, buy a ticket and go see statue. We showed up at meeting place, the instruction said the guide will be there but no one. Everybody confused and we decided just go to ferry ourselves. I truly want refund. Bad experience, bad service. I changed my mind to book viator tour when i go to Japan.

Dear Nga, Thank you for joining our tour. We would like to clarify that the option you selected, the "Basic Interactive Audio Guide," is fully explained in the tour description. As specified, this option does not include a live guide, only an interactive audio guide available on your mobile phone. Additionally, there is no meeting point with this option; as indicated in the instructions, you go directly to the access point. Our service was therefore provided as per the reservation made for that day. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future. Best regards, Quality team at Amigo Tours, Ainoha

Really comprehensive tour, Jay from Amigo tours was an excellent guide. Probably spent a little too long on Liberty island and not enough at Ellis.
