The guide's microphone stopped working, so we didn't get all the explanations. I would have liked her to catch up on the explanations on the way back when he was walking again.
The ride was perfect: short, informative, good space, comfortable seats, and great route.
It was a wonderful experience !
Our speaker was terrific and knowledgeable!! He answered questions from my g sons. He made our experience memorable!
Clean, informative, and great views!
Extraordinary! Friendly staff and a guide who explained everything perfectly.
Tour guide was great; very knowledgeable, and humour was priceless.
Everyone was nice and helpful I took my daughter who is fighting brain cancer and they assisted with her which was great
Our tour guide steve was the best!! He gave us fun facts when we where ob our eay to the statue and algo he took pictures of us with props that he brought.
Excellent! A memorable experience
Tour guide was great ( Steve)
Molly did a great job as tour guide. All the crew was very helpful in getting our mobility scooter on board. The experience is great value.
The guide was entertaining and very engaging.
Long cruise, beautiful sights and super funny host 😁👍🏼
Not worth it. Edge experience was better
5 tickets were issued and there were only 4
I liked all the activity The explanations of our guide on microphone The Lovely and tonic music
easy to make a reservation. excellent explanation about seightseeing.
Darius the host made the trip! Entertaining and funny. Small boat, not busy and the bar staff were amazing. Really good value for money
boat is in verypoor condition.
horrible experience. the night was cold. i spent money on the tour, i spent money getting there, and when i got there, the tour wasn't going to take place, and i wasn't told. i wasted my time that night, when i could have planned something else to do. i was reimbursed for the tour, but i was not reimbursed for the transportation i spent for nothing, and even worse, i was not reimbursed for the extreme frustration and waste of time i had that night. i have not been given an objective and direct answer as to whether or not i will be reimbursed and financially compensated for all the inconvenience. i could have organized something different, but all i had to do was go back to the hotel and sleep.
I didn't like it, I bought a ticket and unfortunately I ended up putting the wrong date, and at the same moment that I saw it I asked for support which was denied informing me that it was no longer possible to change the date or cancel. Unfortunately I am still in Brazil and will only be in NY on Tuesday 07/01 and so I asked for a refund or change of date ...but it was denied, then I was told that only a refund would credit 25% of the amount, but I still haven't received this refund, and I had to buy another ticket again. I look forward to hearing from you
the tour was canceled, i wasn't notified of the cancellation and so far i haven't had my money returned.
We weren't able to take the tour and so far we haven't been reimbursed and we haven't had an answer either.
Too long of a wait thought we was leaving at 7:30, was in line since 7am and didn't leave til after 8pm, missed my next appointment
Overall all was good but couple of cons. We were in the front and sound of guide was very silent. Also when we were passing by statue of liberty, the chaos began and you had to fight for the right to make a good photo. Cause everyone was trying to take picture at the same time
My sister and I had a great time and got some amazing pictures.
Everything was great and well worth the money
This was perfect ! The best thing in my trip be this moments !
Everything! From the spots to the staff, everything is awesome! The cruise was one of the highlights of our NYC vacation. A must for all the tourists. Thank you and more power!

Easy to book. A lot of people, but that's to be expected...the checks are quick and the shuttle service is well organised to connect the 2 islands. The 2 museums (Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island) are very well done. I particularly recommend the audio guide for the visit to Ellis Island. It's a must-see that we don't regret.
What we liked most about this event was the organization and we are happy with the services provided by Headout. Thank you!!!
Easy tickets purchased through this means and very beautiful places.
I’d recommend this to others because it's a unique place to go in NYC
Wonderful ..!!! I love that place..!!!
Excellent experience, highly recommended.
Everything went smooth and guide was great(Ben)
the ticket worked correctly, the app was easy to use, I just wondered if I was entitled to use the ferry without queuing, because I didn't see anyone using it, I followed the flow of people,
It was almost awesome, better directions could be included, Uber took us to the battery as advised but with construction the drop off was a bit of walk, one of the travelers cannot walk easily, we were well past the proper drop off. Include drop off near Bowling Green subway stop on the park side, it is an easier walk, follow the "blue sign" into the park. something like that. The cruise, your team and the sites were excellent.
What can I say, for us it is the second booking in a few days and I must say that everything was perfect. Very affordable prices, rapidissimio the arrival of tickets and management of reservations. As well as very good discounts, which increase according to the bookings made. Top.
A visit to the history of the United States, it is necessary to pass by Ellis Island and as an icon of the country, to see the Statue of Liberty for what it represents.
It was seamless using the ticketing platform and for entry into the ferry rides. Hoped for clear directions to the starting point upon drop off as signs were not readily present. Managed to get into the line after asking for directions to start the trip. Overall the experience was very good after that initial moment and will certainly recommend anyone to give this a try if in New York.
Fantastic day discovering the most famous statue in the world and the history of Hellis island that I did not know. Very interesting and current topic of immigration. The visit to the Hellis museum is to do it all without missing anything!!!
The ferry rides are fun. The views from the boats and both islands are fantastic. All personnel were friendly and helpful. There were plenty of ferries running so there wasn't a long wait to get to the next stop.
The boat trip and the experience in Liberty Island was great.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable.
The park ranger's talk at the Stayte of Liberty.
Everything beautiful, no lines, no problems.
Ellis island was awesome! Tickets made it easy to show up and go.
we loved the ellis island tour. the audio on th statue museum was great
Jett was a Very nice Guide! :)
Everything was good, no problems)
Excelente, is very wonderful 100+
It's was nice to see so happy to see
Everything was exciting for us as it was the first time going to both places.
What we liked most about this event was the organization and we are happy with the services provided by Headout. Thank you!!!

Our guide Joseph K. was remarakable. He had an encyclopedic memory for historical facts relative to the Statue of Liberty' creation/history and Ellis Island facts. My first viit to the statue, heartwarming. I thought the tour included being up in the pedestal of the statue but just saw from sidewalk. The weather was downpouring rain but Headout can't control the weather! Would have been nice ot have been reminded that we could access digital files to search for ancestors...I missed that...too preoccupied with making sure I didn't miss ferry back.
It was easy to find with the directions, and it was a great experience with our guide, who provided fantastic information.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable.
Great experience. Joe was a excellent guide and took very good care of our tour group.
Jett was a Very nice Guide! :)
Friendly and informative guide
The highlight of my visit was our tour guide, Mindy
Jett was a great tour guide, personable and knowledgeable. Ferries were off schedule likely due to weather.
Excellent experience! Qualified and friendly staff!
Amy was an awesome tour guide!!
We bought the Statue of LIberty guided tour and opted in for the guided Ellis Island portaion as well (thereby doubling the ticket price from ~33 to ~$60/each). The guide left us as Statue of Liberty thinking we had a self guided tour at Ellis. I have been back and forth with customer service WHO AGREE IT WAS MISLABELED ON THE WEBSITE and thus we paid about $70 extra for the Ellis Island guided tour and never received it. They refuse to refund us for any portion of our tickets.
The guide and tour was great! The information about the tour location was wrong, wrong, wrong! The confirmation email said the meeting place was at Pier A which we learned was under construction, inacessible, boarded up!!! It caused a bit of a panic in that we were forced to ask several guides for assistance. We thought at one point we were scammed. We alost missed the tour. Headout gave us the wrong ino and there was no phone to call for better insstruction.
THE TICKET MADE US LOSE TIME TO GET ON THE FERRY AND THE ENDLESS LINES.
Christian was very informative and approachable and made an extra effort to ensure all of the party felt engaged and involved.
The guide (Jeff) was very good. The day was well planned, no hitches.
Enjoyed the sights! And George.
It was easy to book, easy to execute. Everything went smoothly and ran on time. Views were spectacular. When they tell you the bow is open do not pass it up. I will recommend this to anybody who is visiting NY
Kind workers, fantastic view. I highly recommend it with whomever you want to do this experience.
The views. They were fantastic.
It was a nice long 2 hour trip ! Learned a lot about the arquitecture . What was long was the line to purchase a drink need more staff or faster way to get your drinks .
Well structured and the guide was truly authentic and knowledgeable
Nice cruise to see New York differently. A short stop near the Statue of Liberty, a real treat.
The boat ride itself is nice, but we culdn´t go round Manhattan (due to "low waterlevel"??) The guide Andy (with the grey ponytail) loves to hear his own voice. Thats for sure. He told us not to be shy and ask questions. It was quite obvious though that he wasnt really interested in peoples question, disturbing his stories. We asked him to tell more about NY:s water tanks, (he mentioned them for 1 minute), the oyster project in harbour etc and I also asked him speak more slowly and articulated, but he answered that he has to keep up with the speed of he boat.....then he told several quite uninteresting and long boring stories , when he was born etc instead of answering questions that people asked. It would have been interesting to hear about oyster projetc for example, a couple of minutes info would have been suficcent, and we asked ourselves how he couldn´t make time for that. Especillay as there were quite long pauses when he did not say anyting.No thanks. He was arrogant and has been on this job too long and it seems that he cant change his jargon.
