Great Tour

Visited the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and 9/11 Memorial. Nina was our tour guide and she did a great job narrating our experience. She went above and beyond giving us facts and details that were really meaningful. She also added a personal touch while keeping a 15 year old engaged.
