Great Way to Learn About Lady Liberty

This tour and especially our guide Chris was great. Weather was a bit chilly, drizzly and windy, but we still were able to take it all in. The ferry has places to see both inside and outside and a very quick "hop" to the islands. The guided tour of Liberty was very informative, but not boring. Despite wanting to get inside to get warm asap, the tour was interesting enough that we were willing to brave the weather to get the full experience. We weren't disappointed by the fact that this tour did not include the "inside" of the statue as we saw plenty of city views from prior days' activities. The two-hour tour was plenty for what we wanted to get out of this excursion.
