We had an amazing tour guide and he was able to explain both monuments in such great detail and was very engaging the entire time. We had a blast! The overall trip took about 3 hours or so and you can finish exploring Ellis island once the tour is over.

I’ve always wanted to see Lady Liberty up close and I finally can say I’ve seen her now! I did the 30 minute tour and it was perfect. I got to learn more about her than I’ve ever known and than got to explore the islands at my own pace
