What to expect

Join the only tour group allowed on the first ferry of the day to Liberty Island! Avoid the crowds as you take in the history of this iconic American site with your local guide.

Begin your day at The Battery (formerly known as Battery Park) and board the earliest ferry of the day (morning tour only) to avoid the swelling afternoon crowds. Sail away from Manhattan to greet the Statue of Liberty and dive deep into the story of how Lady Liberty came to be. As you tour the island, your guide will share the incredible historical facts that fuel your understanding of just how important this monument truly is. Take in beautiful views of the famed New York skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the surrounding environs. Wander through the Statue of Liberty Museum and stand mere feet from Lady Liberty’s original torch!

After the Statue of Liberty, board the short ferry to Ellis Island – another mammoth site in the history of the United States. Your guide sets the tone with a brief introduction and provides recommendations on how to get the most from your visit. Then you can explore this special place at your own pace. You'll have time to wander the site, enjoy the official audio guide, search the passenger records for family names, or pause for a quick bite to eat at the popular cafeteria. You are also welcome to return on the ferry with your guide.

    The guide made the experience for us. She was knowledgeable, approachable and welcoming. She was jolly and got to know all who was in her group. It made it feel more personal. Highly recommend.
