A must see in NYC

The service is offered for a reasonable price. Multiple departures and arrivals are foreseen to allow the customer to plan his visit on the basis of his own interests. Very interesting the immigration museum.

Great Trip to Statue of Liberty

it wasn't as chaotic as I thought it might be for as busy as it was. It was a nice mellow day and everything went smoothly. The restaurant was clean and ran smooth, the food we got was good, some chicken tenders and fries. The gift shop was probably the craziest part of everything, just shoulder to shoulder but it went smooth.
The Coolest part was being able to be on the pedestal of ol Lady Liberty. Great pictures and memories for my son and I.

Cheerful greeters out on the street…

Cheerful greeters out on the street telling us which way to go.
Cheerful greeters all the way through security and up to it.
It was orderly.
Lots of smiles and welcome.
Plenty of room to line up and didn’t feel squashed. Except a bit crowded on the way off the boat and maybe could use a bit more help with the elders.

Educational trip to Alcatraz

Great trip to Alcatraz! Ticket purchase was easy online. Ferry ride was quick and on time. Staff were professional. We especially appreciated the welcome by the rangers once we arrived to the island. The educational pieces about the natives were very interesting and so important. Thank you!

Great Visit to the Statue of Liberty

It was really great visiting Statue of Liberty. Entry and exit was very with ease. Although We could have a better direction to direct the visitors to the right place where the ferry starts from the old parking place with flags
