This was the perfect tour for our family. We wanted an up close view of Lady Liberty without actually landing on the island. We walked up, bought our tickets, and boarded right away. Our tour guide Damian was very knowledgeable about the area, providing interesting anecdotes all along the way. He directed our eyes toward each thing he was talking about, including the church where Eliza and Alexander Hamilton are buried, the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Washington bridges and Battery Park City. As we approached the statue, he made sure we all captured those Instagram worthy photos. All in all, a great tour for a very reasonable price. Highly recommend.
