Warren_H, Mar 2026

Must do tour of NYC

Best tour i have done. Had a very limited knowledge of NYC. Jim our tour guide was so passionate about NYC. He showed us so much of NYC we would had never seen or known. We discovered so may hidden gems that we would not had seen on a bus tour. If in NYC for the 1st time, do this tour, you won't be disappointed. A++

NYC in a Day Tour: Statue of Liberty, Times Square and More

Logan_C, Jan 2026

Incredible Value and an Even Better Guide

Out of all the tours I looked at, NYC in a day:Statue of liberty, times square, and more by far had the most value and brought us everywhere we wanted to go. Yes, the tour is long, and does involve a lot of walking, but there are still times that give you an opportunity to rest and there is also an hour long lunch with plenty of them to rest. Overall, I had an amazing experience, and my tour guide Cale was amazing. He is extremely friendly, passionate and truly made everything interesting and fun and even though the route for the tour itself is good, he made it a great tour and a very personable experience.

Liberty tour - highly recommend

Experience was great. Our guide was from the area and very knowledgeable. Wish we were able to do ground zero first then Ellis island and liberty islands it was a long day. Highly recommend eating before you go and bringing snacks. The food on both islands was not great. But the trip itself was well organized and the guide was easy to spot and did explain a great deal.

The cruise was the...

The cruise was the highlight of our quick trip to NYC. I scheduled the 4:30pm trip and have absolutely no regrets. We observed a gorgeous sunset surrounding “Lady Liberty” and a beautiful moon rising over Manhattan as we returned to the pier. The music was lovely, and the employees could not have been nicer! If you have an opportunity to book this adventure, do it!

Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Guided Tour with Ferry Transfers

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Private Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Tour!

I did the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Tour on October 2nd. When I arrived and was waiting for the tour to start, nobody else was there - then Robert turned up and, much to my surprise, told me I was the only one booked for that particular tour. It ended up being a private tour, which was absolutely fantastic! Robert was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. He answered all my questions in great detail and made the tour come alive with fascinating stories. He also had an iPad with him, showing historic photos and images of the people and places we were talking about. It was amazing to compare those old photos with what I was seeing in real life. As a solo traveller, I really appreciated how kind and thoughtful Robert was. He offered to take photos of me wherever and whenever I wanted, which made the experience even more special. I would highly recommend this tour, and if you get Robert as your guide, you’re in for a real treat!
