It was my first time visiting the Statue of Liberty, and I loved it because my family and I had an amazing time. I highly recommend Headout—they guided us and were incredibly helpful throughout the trip. I would definitely book with you again because you inspire my trust.

The guide was great. Trip very well organized. Statue of Liberty excellent. But we were dissapointed in Ellis Island. It really could use updating of exhibits and space.

Take a guided tour to the heart of New York Harbor and step onto Liberty Island to visit the iconic Statue of Liberty up close.

Explore the exteriors of the Statue of Liberty and see incredible panoramic views from the base of the Statue.

Visit Liberty and Ellis Islands and explore their attractions, such as the Statue of Liberty Museum & its exhibits, and the National Museum of Immigration.

Round-trip ferry rides to Liberty and Ellis Island guarantee smooth sailing on your tour.

Your guide will point out significant landmarks and provide insights into the history & foundation of the US.

Choose between a 2-hour express tour with time for non-guided exploration at Ellis Island, and a 4-hour guided tour of both islands with free time for self-exploration based on your travel preferences.
