Excellent visit - This a phenomenal tour and I'm so glad we had a guide named Joseph, from Inside out Tours. He made everything come to life when he shared the history of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. People that had no tour guide started to record Joseph. That's how good he was. He made a very memorable day. We will definitely recommend your company and Joseph as the guide.

Top rate tour - Thank you, Joseph. Our text conversation night before our tour answered all our concerns as we had been unable to book a ferry for the tour start time. Quick & clear responses settled our worries. The tour itself was very entertaining, and you certainly knew your stuff tailoring your information to a completely non-American audience. You kept the overall feel relaxed to suit the varied ages within the group. Gave clear instructions and meeting points. We enjoyed our tour and will be recommending you and your team.
