I highly recommend.The ferry ride allows you to see Manhattan from a new angle. Ellis island is a discovery and you can make your own genealogical certificate. The Statue of Liberty is mighty and beautiful, to be mmiraded and known. BANKSY is a true and sincere artist and has fought for the right of expression because art is of all and for.all. the.mueso is a stone's throw from Little Italy and China town

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely seemless experience from end to end. We arrived and there was someone to great us and get us to the right place. We were pleasantly suprised with the exhibits and the organisation was brilliant. The views are amazing and you could spend as much time as you needed to get the perfect photos.

The team at the Empire State Building was incredibly nice, attentive and friendly! The reason for our visit was our 21st wedding anniversary. RENATE in particular was so nice. Since we had rain and no view at all for the first 2 hours of our stay, we had a particularly nice chat with the staff. Renate sang for us, we later danced to level 80!!!! After another hour the weather cleared up and we had quite good visibility.

The Statue of Liberty is mighty and beautiful, to be mmiraded and known. BANKSY is a true and sincere artist and has fought for the right of expression because art is of all and for.all. the.mueso is a stone's throw from Little Italy and China town

The views from the observation deck are magnificent, especially at sunset. The only drawback is that it's far too crowded, which should be regulated rather than having to queue up to take a photo.

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

I highly recommend.The ferry ride allows you to see Manhattan from a new angle. Ellis island is a discovery and you can make your own genealogical certificate. The Statue of Liberty is mighty and beautiful, to be mmiraded and known. BANKSY is a true and sincere artist and has fought for the right of expression because art is of all and for.all. the.mueso is a stone's throw from Little Italy and China town
