Your tour guide will lead you to Battery Park, where you’ll be treated to historical insights about the famous buildings there before catching the ferry to Liberty Island. The statue may be the highlight, but the views of the city from the river are one of New York’s greatest experiences. Capture stunning photos of the skyline as it sparkles in the sunshine. This scenic cruise offers the chance to see the Bronze Lady rising up, starting as a small figurine and rising to its full height as you arrive on the island.
After you've arrived, you'll hear the thrilling tale of the Statue of Liberty and its origins. Did you know that it was nearly derailed several times? After a stroll beneath the feet of Lady Liberty, you'll explore the newly-built Statue of Liberty Museum which only opened in March of 2019. You’ll be treated to an immersive exhibit of the statue’s building process, from planning to final construction. After your time among the Bronze Lady, you'll ferry over to Ellis Island, the center for US immigration for decades. Your guide will provide recommendations before you wander the iconic site with an accompanying audio guide. Hear tales of the people who passed through the island before building new lives in the United States.
This 4-hour tour provides the most immersive experience possible. You'll have plenty of time to capture stunning photos of Lady Liberty, Ellis Island, and the surrounding city. This tour has everything you could want to see and is designed for history buffs and newcomers alike.
