30 minutes at Statue of Liberty and museum and 25 minutes at Ellis island is definitely not enough time. Not worth what I paid.

This didn’t work for us, the statue is awesome, the tour company wasn’t, simply go to the harbour and book a much cheaper enjoyable tour and don’t get caught with online tour companies which aren’t needed.
