Senior. - You need to protect yourself from the sun in the summer and be careful. Find out about the museums' opening hours in advance and buy a full service package. This way you can save time and see more. Very nice guide.

The Green Lady - We went to the Liberty Island Ticket Sale Offices which is located in the Clinton National Monument Castle, to pick up tickets, to ride on the island of the Status of Liberty (for dollars more you can ride in the Status of Liberty and for dollars even more go to the Island of Migrants) Not a lot of waiting because we are checking before boarding the ferry. We were able to tour the island with a beautiful view of Manhattan.

Easy way to see Liberty and Ellis Island - Very good trip. You meet a guide at the beginning, before you get on the boat. They guide will tell you about the trip and explain a little history but not too much. They the guide will take you to the boat and get you through the ticket office. Once he gets you past the ticket inspection, he leaves and you get on the boat on your own. Both at Liberty island, and at Ellis island, there are free audio guide that you get and learn about the place. We went at 1pm and it took us 4 hrs to see. This is plenty of time to take your time and look around.

Ok - Booking was easy. Gave clear instructions on how to meet up. Our tour guide was not very informative, we could barely hear him when he did speak. A microphone or megaphone would be great to incorporate in your tour experience. He also left us and we ended up just walking around on our own.

A good experience - The ticket gave you the same access as buying one off the website, but was more expensive. I only bought this because the website ones were sold out. So overall, I was grateful that I got to go, but had to pay about $20 extra. The actual experience at the statue and Ellis Island were incredible. Wish I paid for the pedestal ticket, but not to worry!
