The guide was great. Trip very well organized. Statue of Liberty excellent. But we were dissapointed in Ellis Island. It really could use updating of exhibits and space.

Excellent venue. Lots to see and listen to. Very moving stories. Arrived early for the 9am entry and benefitted from about an hour of crowd-free space before the museum became very busy.
