The ferry service was extremely rude. They provided no shade and hearded us like cattle to the boats well before boarding time. The directions given to the meeting place were wrong you now have to route through security which I am certainly n has been in place for years
The tickets worked out great. But the self guided tour was so outdated that the workers at Ellis Island laughed when I asked for assistance. They haven’t seen that tour in over a year they said. Just use the free audio tour at the museum.
Highly recommended tour, especially because of the insight our guide Daniel provided us.
Daniel was awesome! Thank you
Daniel is a very good guide. Excellent
Not much value beyond the ferry tickets.
It was great and the guide was awesome.
Our tour guide is Daniel, he is very good at guiding, very passionate.Although I cannot understand English,the experience is very good.
The tour with Daniel was excellent, highly recommended to be with him, super nice, patient, kind... honestly we give him a rating of 10, greetings to him from the Mexican family.
This was an amazing experience and Viator and Amigo tours were very helpful with all my questions. Chat is the best way they communicated! Thank you for making this experience fun and memorable.
