    I didn’t expect to be so moved by the Statue of Liberty or Ellis Island, but the guide and the sights were really captivating. The large pics of the immigrants in the exhibits on Ellis Island were very intense and riveting. In those photos, Their history and hope were so evident on their faces. Such an amazing place.

    Great job!

    Had limited time to visit in NYC with family and love American history! Was able to get up close with a great guide and access to Statue when other options were sold out and long lines. Also able to get fast tracked through most every line.... less lunch! Learned much and was able to get to see other attractions thanks to maximizing time. Worth the additional cost and guide made it memorable and educational.

    Well worth it! Fantastic guide and tour!

    Emmanuel Hadar was our tour guide and he was fantastic! So knowledgeable and personable, he made the wait times informative and interesting. Getting Amigo Tours was a great investment. Huge lines but not for us, much, MUCH shorter wait times with the tour. If we ever make it back to NYC, we will definitely seek out Amigo Tours again.
