Loved our guide Ivan for short from Chile. He was knowledgeable and talked with everybody on our tour to learn about where they were from and food in their area. The tour was great and very informative. Enjoyed being up close to Lady Liberty. Wish I'd known I needed another ticket to go up into the statue. The liberty museum had great details on the making and transporting of the statue. Ellis island was so big, you probably need an entire day to see everything, but overall a great experience. I really enjoyed this tour and our group.

Fantastic tour with Rob - fun, knowledgable, insightful and, even a bit emotional. It shouldn’t be missed! Four hours go quickly and I just wish it mentioned that you can stay longer on Ellis Island.. I would have stayed longer if I had known but had made plans..

Rob is knowledgeable, dedicated, and amiable. His tours aren't scripted but he's well versed in the historical background of each part of the tour. There's no telling just what you'll learn but it will be a lot. He laid down on the ground amidst freezing winds at the Statue of Liberty to take photos for everyone in the group. Most importantly, Rob made the second half of the tour (Ellis Island) interesting for everyone by making it personal. He eagerly regaled the tale of his own ancestors' experiences traveling to America, complete with photocopies of ship manifests and photos of living conditions. It's clear Rob has been doing this for a long time and genuinely enjoys sharing his knowledge with others.
