Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Guided Tour
Tours last 30 minutes, 2 hours, and 4 hours depending on selection.
Hear the stories of immigrants who passed through Ellis Island and learn about the creation and symbolism of the Statue of Liberty.
On this guided tour, your expert New Yorker will get your reserve-line ferry tickets for you and ride with you to Liberty Island and afterward to Ellis Island for a tour of the landmarks around the island, such as the wall of honor. Afterward, you can continue inside the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration to explore its multiple floors at your own pace. An audio guide is included to help. You'll also have time to visit the Statue of Liberty Museum as your guide prepares you for what you'll see inside.
