Boarding the ferry to Liberty Island gave me the thrill of seeing the Statue of Liberty up close, an experience that felt surreal. The guided tour option was a fantastic addition, enhancing my visit to Ellis Island with rich stories and details about its history, though I wish the audio quality could have been a bit clearer at times.

I was captivated by the rich history and stories shared during my visit to the iconic landmarks. The guided tour option provided such depth, especially when I reached Ellis Island, where I learned about the immigrant experience that shaped America. One minor suggestion would be to allow a bit more time on Liberty Island to soak in the views and take photos without feeling rushed.
