Seeing everything and learning all the history behind it was so exciting and interesting. Patrick was a great tour guide
excellent tour. John was very knowledgeable about the history of the place and New York. He really knew where to go and avoid crowds, highlighting the key spots in the tour. Effective use of time.
I took my uncle and aunt to NYC as they had never been. Last time I was at the statue of liberty and ellis island I was like 8years old on a field trip. I wanted to show my family around as well as learn about history and get a lot out of a tour. We had an amazing time with Percy Smart she was the best.. I think the organization of the tour, the flexibility, and the positive upbeat attitude of our lovely tour guide made the day unforgettable. I loved how the tour had all our tickets ready and the day went super smooth. I had so much fun also!!! .Percy was a walking book of historical knowledge with great energy and vibe. I would recommend Percy without hesitation. Also when i called the tour company Perry was super sweet, and explained the meeting place for me as I was nervous as I had only booked the tour a day or two prior last minute It really was the perfect trip, well worth the money as in guided tours you learn so much without walking around aimlessly. I really encourage a private tour. It makes the day so you are not wasting time and you see a lot more in one day than you would have otherwise. Tickets are already bought so every location planned to be seen was easy
Wonderful tour. Luke our guide very knowledgeable and fun to be with. We would encourage people to sign up for this tour.

We truly loved our Top Dog Tour experience. Victoria was an amazing guide with extensive knowledge and insider tips that made our tour outstanding! Our tour was a great value and Victoria’s guidance allowed us to make the most of the time we had to spend visiting the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Wallstreet, 9/11 Memorial and the One World Observatory. Thank you for a wonderful day Victoria!!!
