We had such an amazing experience during this tour! Chris Triebel was very knowledgeable as he’s lived his whole life in New York! He was funny, kind, and even had the group sing happy birthday to my wife, which made her feel so happy and special. Our favorite part was hearing about the interesting history of the Statue of Liberty, and viewing Ellis Island. Chris worked hard to really immerse you in the experience, and for that, this tour was the best part of our trip. Thank you Chris!!

We loved our guide Charlie. He was so friendly and welcoming and he did a great job bringing the history of the two national parks to life. The museum at the Statue of Liberty is not to be missed! We had a great four hours.

Russell was a great guide. Very knowledgeable with lots of good stories. The tour got us through the ferry line faster to the Statue of Liberty and allowed us time to visit at our own pace after the tour was done. I wish we could have had more of a guided visit to Ellis Island since the first part was so interesting!
Loved our Tour Guide

Our tour guide, Chris, was AWESOME. Great tour from start to finish. Knowledgeable, personable and efficient. Gave perfect direction and made us feel comfortable getting around security and the ferries. Snapped pictures at the perfect times for all of us. I missed most of the Ellis Island portion because I was chasing our toddler, he found me on the ferry home and answered all of my questions so I really didn't miss anything.
Awesome experience!

Didn’t love Russell, while he was very knowledgeable he also seemed out off by working 13 days in a row- which he let us know. Just wasn’t his day maybe.

Our guide John was awesome. He had so much history information and presented it in an interesting, sometimes dramatic and funny! He held our interest and was the complete package‼️ My husband and I felt fortunate to be in his group!
My only negative comment is we felt we needed more time at the Statue of Liberty!
We enjoyed spending the afternoon on Ellis Island leisurely until 5:30pm😊👍🏻
Worth it.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
