Worked out very well and a great visit. Need to be.clearer that to go up the statue you need to have a separate ticket or have it booked in advance. Its not par of the basic ticket

We expected that people with tickets would have a shorter wait. Unfortunately, everyone had tickets and had to wait in line for 2 hours in the sun until the security check. Then another 1 hour until we were on the ship. On Ellis Island (also with a long wait) there was little time for the exhibition and we were back in Manhattan on the last ferry at 5:40 pm. The trip to Liberty Island and Ellis Island was very nice. However, we spent a good 4.5 hours of the more than 7 hours in line.

The actual tour was perfectly organized, but I cannot say the same for the "headout" support team. Badly reviewed. How come no one picks up our phone calls for two days?!!
