Meeting point

  • Visit two iconic New York cultural sites with an early-access guided tour of Liberty Island and Ellis Island
  • Sail across the Hudson to Liberty Island and view Lady Liberty from the ground as a guide narrates; then explore the Statue of Liberty Museum
  • Ferry across to Ellis Island and uncover the reality of American immigration. See the old processing centers where millions passed through at the turn of the century

Begin your day at The Battery – the historical gateway to Lady Liberty. Then, board the ferry and sail away from Manhattan to greet the Statue of Liberty.

Your guide will dive deep into the story of how Lady Liberty came to be. As you tour the island, your guide – an expert in setting the stage, creating the scene, and invoking your imagination – 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.

Explore this special place at your own pace, enjoy the official audio guide, search the passenger records for family names, or pause for a quick bite to eat at the popular cafeteria, but you are free to return with your guide if you wish.

  • Show your smartphone ticket to the tour guide at the meeting point: 1 Bowling Green, New York, NY 10004 In front of the National Museum of the American Indian at the bottom of the Statue with the Sphinx and Lion (when you are facing the museum entrance, it's the last statue on the right); Guide will be waiting for you holding a "Walks" tour sign
