Cesar was lovely, very knowledgeable and provided the historic background of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
However, I did not realize that our guide would not be guiding us through the two parks. He left us before we went through security. We paid $175 for two. We could have paid $22 each for the ferry rides and basic entrance into the parks.
Our tour fee did not even include climbing the Statue of Liberty.
This is the first time I have been disappointed by a Viator recommended tour.
Again, Cesar was great. Extremely knowledgeable.

I paid $179.00 for two tickets to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We were to have a tour guide as mentioned in the plan I bought. We met Cesar in front of Starbucks he walked us to the boat and left us there. No guide. I could have bought a ticket for $40 for the boat. I asked for a partial refund and they gave me $39.00. DO NOT USE VIATOR. Such a rip off. There were 8 people who booked a French guide. No such thing. Cesar was not helpful and neither was “customer service”.
