Fun day with Lady Liberty & Matt! - Matt was an excellent guide. He gives the right amount of history with a pinch of perspective to help make the experience more real. This is a great way to see Lady Liberty and Ellis Island.

Nicola is the tour guide you want! - The museum was very informative. Seeing the statue was the highlight, of course. Our tour guide, Nicola, was knowledgeable, kind and efficient to make sure we got the most out of our stops. Ellis island was sort of a let down, we only had access to the main building. Without Nicola’s information, we wouldn’t have gotten as much out of the experience. I especially loved how he helped EVERY person find their group.
