Sara our Tour guide was amazing! Usually my dad falls asleep during these tours but, he was so wide awake and attentive and learned so much history yesterday, would definitely recommend this tour to our family and friends

Such an eye-opening tour made all the more personal and interactive by our wonderful (and enthusiastic!) guide Daniyal! He was informative, engaging and really took the time to make sure everyone on the tour was involved, aware and had a good time. Thanks Daniyal!

I did not expect to get so emotional on this tour! Having lived in the city before, I had seen the Statue of Liberty many times, but I had never gone with a guide, and it was totally worth it! Our tour guide, Matt, was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable storyteller, who captivated everyone in our group. The stories and information he shared gave me a new appreciation for the history and significance of these iconic landmarks. Highly recommend :)
