Worth the trip - We had such a great day learning about the history of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Jake, our guide, was super knowledgeable and shared everything in a really engaging way.
Only point to note is you do not go inside the statue as part of the tour.

Charlie was fun and knowledgeable - Guide was good and tour was appropriate length. I did the 2 hour of just the statue and I was happy with that. The ferry will take you to Ellis island if wanted to do on your own

Liberty Express was a success - This express Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island tour was perfect for us. We got the highlights and did it with a smaller tour group of 25 people. Our guide Ronald was very knowledgeable and organized to help with th crowds and other ins and outs of the process. Booking with a verified company like Viator ensured that we were not going to be scammed and would have a good experience.
