Fantastic Tour
This tour was fantastic! It was very cool to go under all the bridges that connect Manhattan. Great views of the Statue of Liberty and the Skyline.
The restrooms were clean. Luckily, we were there on a sunny day and had our rain coats. which helped with the wind.
I do recommend sitting on the very back (padded bench) because you get great views. But be warned on padded bench does retain water and your bottom could get wet.
Bring cash to tip the tour guide. Malachy was a great tour guide lots of fun facts about the city.

The tour of the Statue of...
The tour of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Islnd is both scenic and highly educational. We had an exceptionally knowledgeable tour guide Jim Wahler, who provided the history and context of the creation of the Statue of Liberty and the significance of Ellis Island as the gateway to the “American Dream” for millions of immigrants in the early 1900’s. All arrivals landed and were processed at this tiny Island .
The museums at both Liberty island and Elis island are current, thought enhancing and informative.
It takes about 5 hours to visit both sites. Bring a sweater since it can be breezy , and time. Overall I highly recommend this activity. The tour is well organized , but it’s important to note that you have to get your physical ticket - not an e-ticket - at the Battery Park meeting point to board the ferry. I had clearly missed that fine print.
Overall a great experience for adults and kids alike.

Awesome tour! Highly...
Awesome tour! Highly recommend if you want the chance to see Ellis and Liberty Island in same day as a combo tour. If you’re interested in going inside Statute of Liberty (which I wasn’t) this probably isn’t the tour, but if you are interested in a more totality experience of both islands this is the tour to take!

Amazing day!
From pick up to drop off, the experience was great. Our guide was amazing; friendly and super knowledgeable, making the drive between stops engaging and fun. All of the events were great, but the behind the Falls and Boat ride were amazing! Well worth the expense, highly recommend this tour!

Great intro to manhatan
This was a great hybrid expirience to introduce new York, it's both a bus tour and a walking tour that takes you thru Manhattan and enjoy a light lunch! You'll have time to walk around central park (guided), rockafeller center, and the world trade center. It also includes the fery round trip to see the statue of liberty. It's about 10k steps or less. It takes up the morning and part of the afternoon, and You'll get a better idea of where you want to for the rest of the day.
Don was great and managed to keep us on time to board the ferry. He was great!

Superb!
Ask for Dana (if possible) as your guide she is a phenomenal guide - very knowledgeable, through and engaging. This whole tour was truly interesting, fun and at times intriguing. If I had one recommendation it would be that they should change lunch spots, The Moose (something) was sub-par cafeteria food.

Cora was wonderful!!!
This was amazing! Cora was our guide and could not have been more knowledgeable and a wonderful person to have for a guide. She was willing and able to answer all our questions. She was so helpful to us when we needed to find an Uber! We would definitely recommend Cora to anyone who wants a wonderful time learning about New York, The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island!!

Great first view of the city!
We had a great time seeing the city and learning the history. This was our first time in NYC and we almost missed the bus, make sure to plan on being in the city well before your bus leaves! Sophia was our guide and she took my youngest on as an assistant, she is a delightful person with a wonderful aura. We loved our tour, driver and guides. Plenty of bathroom breaks and getting an over view of the city was exactly what we wanted. The bus was very comfortable and cool! Thank you for letting my little lead the show, what an incredible first experience of NYC! Clear and prompt communication from the min we booked.

Team Nick
TOTALLY made our 4 day trip to Niagra worthy. Our guide, Nick, was spectacular.
Not knowing any better, we did an American only tour 2 days later ( ended up being a walking tour) that was a total waste. Loved the personal touch getting phone calls to let us know what was going to happen. We learned so much and had so much fun with "TeamNick". I would actually take this tour again, WITH NICK, and could not recommend more highly.

Don’t hesitate to book this tour!
Such a fun and informative tour! Our tour guide Jorge and driver Rafael were excellent - we learned a lot of history and fun facts and Jorge had a great sense of humour too. This is our third time in NYC - it was amazing to experience the ‘real’ New York and see the places tourists don’t normally go to.

Kevin rocks!
Kevin was the best! Very informative, engaging, personable with a great sense of humor. I’ve been on tours where the host was robotic and sounded like he/she was reading from a canned script. Kevin was the exact opposite. A warehouse of knowledge but down-to-earth guy who mixed in personal experiences along with local and historical facts and information. Couldn’t have been any better. The six hour tour flew by. I felt like I was on the bus tour with an old friend. Thank you Kevin!

The Beast is the Best
This is the third time we've gone on the Beast and once again, it did not disappoint. The ride goes by very quickly but it's so much fun and the memories made are worth every penny. Staff is great and cheerful, they make every second enjoyable, even getting soaked with a water gun is pleasant. We love it and will definitely be back.
