      We appreciated the depth of knowledge our guide shared during our visit to the memorial and surrounding sites. Walking through the Memorial brought a profound sense of reflection, while exploring Ellis Island offered fascinating stories of immigrants. One suggestion would be to allow a bit more time on Liberty Island to fully soak in the views and atmosphere.

      Exploring the Statue of Liberty was an unforgettable experience for us, especially standing at her base and taking in the views of New York in the United States. The moment we stepped onto Ellis Island was powerful, as we learned about the millions who passed through its halls in search of a new life. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, but we would have loved a bit more time to soak in the Memorial, given its emotional weight.

      As a solo traveler, I found the guided experience to be truly enriching and engaging. The insightful stories shared about the iconic figure and the poignant memorial left a lasting impression on me. Getting to explore the island was a highlight, as it provided breathtaking views and a sense of history that can’t be replicated. I appreciated the pacing of the tour, though it would have been nice to have just a bit more time at the memorial to fully absorb the atmosphere. Overall, this excursion offered a perfect blend of education and reflection that I’ll cherish.
