A must on your visit to New York - A real babel tower, you can find visitors from all over the world which enriches the experience. I entered the tour acquiring the CityPASS (Not a Guideline) for 5 attractions. Please note that this only gives access to the island, to climb the pedestal you must pay an additional amount, at this point you can access to the museum that shows the process of building the statue and if you wish to climb to the crown you have to pay an additional amount. It is best to buy them and schedule the visit in advance. The security checks are rigorous and have a point with lockers where the scrubs must be stored to access the pedestal. It has a food outlet with good offer except black coffee which I found intomable. The souvenir shop offers things for everyone. Do not miss the exhibition where you can give an idea of the size of the statue with a real replica of your foot and face.

Superb tour and Guide (Stalina) - I have a new favorite Peruvian, Stalina. She was our guide. Funny, responsive, very helpful and multilingual. The entire trip from meetup at Starbucks at Battery, boarding the ferry, on and off the islands was superb…..even in the light rain. When I’m ready to return to Lady Liberty, I’m asking for Stalina. She has soooo much historical knowledge too. Boom.

NO NEED FOR A TOUR UNLESS IT’S RANGER FROM PARK - STAY AWAY FROM AMIGO TOURS.... buy your tickets from official site.. .. you only have to pay for your ferry tickets and it includes an audio tour you can pick up on each island. There is a 9 minute movie in the museum that explains the history of Liberty Island better than tour. Also for crown and pedestal access, reserve 3 months at least in advance Tour was also done in Spanish and English so I found it a waste of time of about an hour waiting as guide spoke in both languages and waiting time for group

Disappointed. Tour guide did not teach us much about the history. - This tour was more of a self-guided experience than an actual guided tour. Our tour guide, Joseph, only gave a brief historical summary at each stop and then left us to explore on our own. I didn’t learn much, and overall, it was a huge disappointment. For the price we paid, we would have been better off just purchasing regular tickets without the tour guide. I wish he had stayed with the group and shared more facts and stories throughout the visit—that would have made the experience much more worthwhile.

Was it a scam? - I booked a tour to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Immigration Museum, for 04/19, at 12:30 pm two weeks ahead. They sent a ticket that appeared being useless. We couldn’t use it to enter the ferry. Amigo tours sent the link to the voucher I couldn’t download the voucher it went to the error page. I was trying to reach out via phone and email no one answered. We arrived to the meeting point 30 minutes earlier but No one met us there. Another tour provider told us that Amigo tours do not have 12:30 tours. But my booking and a ticket was for 12:30. I had to urgently book tour with another provider. Amigo tours charged extra, they withhold the information that all we pay is the ferry to the Statue of Liberty, all the museums and a ferry to Ellis Island and back are free. I didn’t receive anything that was offered. I want a full refund. Yana B 04/20/2025
