Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Fully Escorted Tour

Join a fully escorted tour on the Statue of Liberty Ferry to meet Lady Liberty before heading to historical Ellis Island.

Start your day by meeting your guide at Battery park for a 30 minute guided tour of the park, before enjoying reserved access to the Statue of Liberty Ferry which will take you across New York Harbour to Liberty Island.

Built by Gustave Eiffel, “Lady Liberty” was a gift to the United States from the people of France. T. Enjoy stunning views back across to Manhattan and across to Brooklyn from Liberty Island.

Then, cross to Ellis Island to learn about the immigrant experience at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. It is thought that at least 40% of all current US citizens can trace one or more of their ancestors to Ellis Island! Journey through the 60-plus years that the facility processed new arrivals at the start of their lives in America.

After a morning of excitement, education and exhilaration, you'll be ferried back to Battery Park to enjoy the rest of your day.
