Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Tour: All Options

Overview

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 and ride with you to Liberty Island and afterward, if you select our Comprehensive Tour, to Ellis Island for a tour of the landmarks around the island, such as the wall of honour. Once the tour ends, the exploration doesn't stop there as 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.

Our Liberty Express option offers a 2 hour guided tour across the water, and on Liberty Island, where you'll learn all about the Statue of Liberty and our expert guide will also give you facts and tips if you wanted to visit the museum on your own after the tour.

We had the BEST tour guide Mya! She was so knowledgeable about everything and it really enhanced the experience. Mya told us lesser known facts about Lady Liberty and Ellis Island. Would highly recommend this tour company and of course, Mya!

Erica was a. Excellent guide! She was very knowledgeable, kept our group together and moving quickly through the lines of people. We loved her personality and learned a lot. It was really windy - but she talked into the wind so all of us could have our backs to the wind. Very kind!!
