Join this award-winning tour of two of New York’s biggest and best landmarks: the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

With your NYC guide, you’ll board a ferry bound for Liberty Island. Don’t worry as you’ll have your special-access ferry tickets ready when you meet your guide at Castle Clinton. On the ride over, your guide will tell you where you can get the best shots of both the New York skyline and the Statue of Liberty.

Once you arrive at Liberty Island, your guide will show you around, sharing how the monument was built, what you expect to see in the museum, and more. Enjoy the Statue of Liberty Museum at your leisure. Then hop back on the ferry for your next stop: Ellis Island.

You'll also get tips for visiting the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration, helping you plan your time so you see the exhibits that matter most to you.
