Description
  • Begin your day at The Battery (formerly known as Battery Park) – the historical gateway to Lady Liberty. Then, board the earliest ferry of the day (morning tour only), ensuring you avoid the swelling afternoon crowds, and sail away from Manhattan to greet the Statue of Liberty. 
  • It is here 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 sets the tone with a brief introduction and provides 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. 
  • The Statue of Liberty is a story of passage. The passage of time, the passage of people, and a rite of passage for all who come to New York City. Should this be a once-in-a-lifetime visit or a visit with an old friend, this tour grants impeccable quality to your time at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
  • Begin your day within the confines of The Battery (formerly known as Battery Park) - the historical landmark serving as a gateway between lower Manhattan and the small island in the midst of New York Bay - the island whose mighty soil lay the foundation for Lady Liberty. After much anticipation, board one of the earliest ferries ensuring you avoid the swelling afternoon crowds, while sailing through the open waters so famed in American culture and film. On one side, bid adieu to the dissipating shoreline of Manhattan while on the other side greets the swiftly approaching Statue of Liberty.

Description
  • The Statue of Liberty is a story of passage. The passage of time, the passage of people, and a rite of passage for all who come to New York City. Should this be a once-in-a-lifetime visit or a visit with an old friend, this tour grants impeccable quality to your time at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
  • Begin your day within the confines of The Battery (formerly known as Battery Park) - the historical landmark serving as a gateway between lower Manhattan and the small island in the midst of New York Bay - the island whose mighty soil lay the foundation for Lady Liberty. After much anticipation, board one of the earliest ferries ensuring you avoid the swelling afternoon crowds, while sailing through the open waters so famed in American culture and film. On one side, bid adieu to the dissipating shoreline of Manhattan while on the other side greets the swiftly approaching Statue of Liberty.
  • It is here 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. Pause in the upgraded Statue of Liberty Museum, filled with engaging artifacts, and stand mere feet from Lady Liberty’s original torch!
  • After your time commences at the Statue of Liberty board the short ferry to Ellis Island - another mammoth site in the history of the United States. As a brief introduction, your guide will set the tone - sharing the special spaces to visit within the buildings and grant insight to support your time here. At this time, bid farewell to your personal expert in order to tour this special place at your own pace. Knowing how touching this place 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.

Should this be a once-in-a-lifetime visit or a visit with an old friend, this tour grants impeccable quality to your time at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
  • Begin your day within the confines of The Battery (formerly known as Battery Park) - the historical landmark serving as a gateway between lower Manhattan and the small island in the midst of New York Bay - the island whose mighty soil lay the foundation for Lady Liberty. After much anticipation, board one of the earliest ferries ensuring you avoid the swelling afternoon crowds, while sailing through the open waters so famed in American culture and film. On one side, bid adieu to the dissipating shoreline of Manhattan while on the other side greet the swiftly approaching Statue of Liberty.
  • It is here your guide will dive deep into the story of how Lady Liberty came to be.

Take in beautiful views of the famed New York skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the surrounding environs. Pause in the upgraded Statue of Liberty Museum, filled with engaging artifacts and stand mere feet from Lady Liberty’s original torch!
  • After your time commences at the Statue of Liberty board the short ferry to Ellis Island - another mammoth site in the history of the United States. On Ellis Island, your guide will set the tone - leading you through the halls, sharing special spaces within the buildings, and taking you to the check-in podium which determined the fate of so many. At the conclusion of your time on Ellis Island, you can choose to spend more time wandering the site (maybe even search the passenger records for your own family names) or return to The Battery with your guide.
  • We’ll start our tour with a little context, visiting the sites around Battery Park. The memorials here rarely get the attention they deserve, from visitors rushing past to board the ferry. The stories they have to tell are well worth hearing though, so we’ll spare some time for the Castle Clinton National Monument, Pier A Harbor House, the American Merchant Mariner’s Memorial, the Sphere and New York Korean War Veteran’s Memorial.
  •  
  • Then it’s off to Liberty Island with pre-reserved ferry tickets from Battery Park to Liberty Island. Once there, you’ll enjoy stunning views back over the city and you’ll dive into the story of how the statue came to be and why it almost wasn’t built at all. 
  • Gifted to the US by France and designed by their finest architects including Gustav Eiffel (whose Parisian Tower you may be familiar with), Lady Liberty wasn’t as warmly received as you would think. With your expert guide on hand, you’ll hear all about the struggle that got her on her feet and made her even more special to the people of New York.
  •  
  • Then it’s back on the ferry and on to Ellis Island, where you’ll follow in the footsteps of 12 million immigrants. With your expert guide on hand you’ll learn about the lengthy immigration process they went through, walking the Stairs of Separation to understand the island’s two very different names – ‘The Island of Hope’ and ‘The Island of Tears’. Together you’ll explore the museum’s impressive collection of interactive displays, asking all the questions you want of your expert guide. Our tour ends in Ellis Island, so you can stay a little longer if you’d like, or head back on the ferry with your guide.
  •  
  • With small groups of 20 people or fewer and early morning ferries to the islands, we ensure that your tour is peaceful and relaxed, removing the stress and frustrations of the average visit. And with an expert guide on hand you’re certain to learn a thing or two, getting more from your experience than you would have on your own. 
  • Please note, early access to the Statue of Liberty and arrival before the crowds is only applicable if 8:30 AM / 9:00 AM Departure is selected!
  • ***Tours taking place until March 31st 2020 will include special access to the Statue Pedestal****

Product Name
  • Early Access Statue of Liberty Tour with Ellis Island
  • Early Access Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Tour
Description
  • We’ll start our tour with a little context, visiting the sites around Battery Park. The memorials here rarely get the attention they deserve, from visitors rushing past to board the ferry. The stories they have to tell are well worth hearing though, so we’ll spare some time for the Castle Clinton National Monument, Pier A Harbor House, the American Merchant Mariner’s Memorial, the Sphere and New York Korean War Veteran’s Memorial.
  •  
  • Then it’s off to Liberty Island with pre-reserved ferry tickets from Battery Park to Liberty Island. Once there, you’ll enjoy stunning views back over the city and you’ll dive into the story of how the statue came to be and why it almost wasn’t built at all. 
  • Gifted to the US by France and designed by their finest architects including Gustav Eiffel (whose Parisian Tower you may be familiar with), Lady Liberty wasn’t as warmly received as you would think. With your expert guide on hand, you’ll hear all about the struggle that got her on her feet and made her even more special to the people of New York.
  •  
  • Then it’s back on the ferry and on to Ellis Island, where you’ll follow in the footsteps of 12 million immigrants. With your expert guide on hand you’ll learn about the lengthy immigration process they went through, walking the Stairs of Separation to understand the island’s two very different names – ‘The Island of Hope’ and ‘The Island of Tears’. Together you’ll explore the museum’s impressive collection of interactive displays, asking all the questions you want of your expert guide. Our tour ends in Ellis Island, so you can stay a little longer if you’d like, or head back on the ferry with your guide.
  •  
  • With small groups of 20 people or fewer and early morning ferries to the islands, we ensure that your tour is peaceful and relaxed, removing the stress and frustrations of the average visit. And with an expert guide on hand you’re certain to learn a thing or two, getting more from your experience than you would have on your own. 
  • Please note, early access to the Statue of Liberty and arrival before the crowds is only applicable if 8:30 AM / 9:00 AM Departure is selected!
  • ***Tours taking place until March 31st 2020 will include special access to the Statue Pedestal****
