Too much time was spent at the Statue of Liberty, otherwise the trip was very good.
A brilliant tour with exceptionally committed guides. The weather on the day we went was quite foggy so the view from the Observatory would have been poor but we were offered exchange tickets for the following day - this was an excellent outcome for us as the next day was brilliant weather. The tour round the outside of the 9/11 site was very thought provoking and the architecture of the Occulus was breathtaking as was the view from the Observatory itself.
Do not miss this tour!
Tour guide Sal was amazing, and very interesting all the information he shared. Headphone sets during the tour help to hear him. He had opportunity for breaks during tour. Ellis Island tour, regarding immigrants, and walking in my ancestors footsteps down the steps from the great hall, was very meaningful. The World Trade Center tour was even better, as he relayed his own experiences, having worked at the World Trade Center during 9/11. His perspective was very helpful for their part especially, as it was first hand, witness information.
