Wow, what an experience we had in New York City for our overdue honeymoon. Our tourist guide alex was so informative. Me and my husband was so happy that we have a tour guide with us because if we don’t have, we could see structures, statues museums but we will not know information and story from the history. Thank you Viator we had great time in NYC! Now back to realty 🥰🥰🥰 till next trip 😘 Ps: so pitty i couldn’t share some pics what i took. I would love to share but it won’t let me. Some problem maybe in the website.

We had a wonderful visit to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Even the ferry rides were a nice little adventure. Our guide, David was fantastic! Enthusiastic, knowledgeable, entertaining, and friendly, David provided the interesting history of how the Statue of Liberty was designed, how it came to NY, how it was installed, etc. He also explained what processes the immigrants were subjected to upon arrival at Ellis Island. Our son had to use a wheelchair during our trip after an injury. David ensured we were well accommodated as did the ferry personnel. We had a truly memorable and wonderful experience!
