Amazing tour!!! JAV

We toured the Statue of Liberty (SOL) and Ellis Island (EI) with a wonderfully informative guide this week -- and although I have been to SOL before, I came away this time with many more details and interesting facts! Rori is a delight and a fine speaker, and my whole party was totally pleased with our tour to these iconic places. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour !!!

A great way to see Liberty and Ellis Islands

I have previously visited Liberty Island and been up to the pedestal and the crown but this was by ourselves and not with a guide. I have not previously visited Ellis Island. Our guide was Catie. The word "Perky" was definitely invented for her but she was perky in a funny endearing way and not in an annoying way. She kept the tour moving at a good pace and was very well informed and able to answer questions. It was a great way to see Liberty Island and a good amount of time was allowed for photos and to visit the new museum and the gift shop. I had been wanting to visit Ellis Island for some time and again Catie was well informed. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and definitely recommend it.
