Full description
Begin your Statue of Liberty tour at Battery Park, the historical gateway to Liberty Island. If you've chosen the FOUR HOUR TOUR, your guide will share a bit of Manhattan history with you in Battery Park before boarding the ferry with your small group to sail away from Manhattan to greet the Statue of Liberty. Once on Liberty Island, 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 will set the tone with a brief introduction and provide recommendations on how to get the most from your visit. Then you can explore this special place at your own pace. Knowing how touching Ellis Island can be, we give everyone 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. If you choose the 30-MINUTE EXPRESS TOUR tour, your guide will give you a crash course in all things Lady Liberty as they show you around the park and lead you to the ferry. From the essential, must-see sights at the Statue and Ellis Island to practical tips that will ensure a hassle-free visit, you'll be properly equipped with all the knowledge you need for a smooth, insightful outing by the time you part ways from your guide at the ferry.

“Adventure Guide Colin” is a wonderfully entertaining and knowledgeable gem. I overheard a few other guides speaking to their groups while on my tour. They were amateurs compared to Colin. He was far away superior to the others. Based on my experience with Colin, I would eagerly book another tour with your organization.

It was a very hot day and this tour was well worth it. At our meeting point, our guide Rob took us quickly through security to board the boat to Liberty Island. We spent approximately 1 hr on the island with the opportunity to take photos and enjoy the museum. Museum was well worth a visit but we could have stayed longer. We then boarded the boat to Ellis Island. Loads to see here with very interesting museum documenting history of island at various stages. Our tour guide was very informative and added a personal touch due to his own family history to the tour.
