Start your tour in Battery Park, where you'll meet your tour guide. As you walk to the ferry terminal, your guide will tell you all about the famous buildings around the area. Cruise to Liberty Island and take in the sight of NYC from the waters. You'll delve into the intriguing story of the Statue of Liberty with your guide - why it was built and its urban legends through the years. Once you've clicked photographs at the statue base grounds and taken in the view of the New York Harbor, you'll head to the Statue of Liberty Museum.

At the museum, you'll get a chance to take a close look at artifacts from the planning and building process. Reading lesser-known facts about Lady Liberty, you'll finally understand why many things people are led to believe about the statue are untrue! Your tour will end at Liberty Island. From here, you can take the ferry to Ellis Island for no extra charge and explore the fascinating Immigration Museum. Alternatively, you can head back to Battery Park via the ferry.
