The guide, Christian, was the best guide we've ever had anywhere in the world. His knowledge on the subject was phenomenal 👏. His attention to detail and ensuring that the whole group was included was exemplary. A very pleasurable experience.

Your Experience

Start your tour at The Battery (previously known as Battery Park) – the famous gateway to Lady Liberty. Then, board a ferry as you sail away from Manhattan to the Statue of Liberty.

Listen as your guide dives deep into the story of how Lady Liberty came to be. Watch as they the stage, create the scene, and ignite your imagination, all while letting you in on incredible historical facts. Admire sweeping views of the New York skyline, Brooklyn Bridge, and the surrounding environs. Explore the Statue of Liberty Museum and stand just a few feet from Lady Liberty’s original torch!

Later, board the short ferry to Ellis Island – another iconic site in the history of the United States. After a brief introduction, your guide will tell you how to get the most from your visit. Then, check out this special place on your own. You'll have enough time to wander the site, enjoy the official audio guide, look through the passenger records for family names, or grab a bite to eat at the cafeteria. You are also welcome to return on the ferry with your guide.
