Full description
So many people visit the Statue of Liberty each year that it can be hard to get the exact dates you want. This afternoon Statue of Liberty tour takes care of that for you with pre-reserved ferry tickets, so all you have to do is show up and get ready to meet Lady Liberty. And with an afternoon departure, you'll have plenty of time to hit up some other must-see NYC sights in the morning (or simply sleep in!). Just meet your guide, hop on a ferry, and get ready for an insightful visit to New York's most recognizable resident.
Discover the Statue of Liberty without needing to get up early to catch the first boat over to Liberty Island. On this express Statue of Liberty tour, you'll enjoy a leisurely boat ride with your small group and expert guide for a hassle-free tour of the Statue and her surrounds.
The first stop on your tour is Battery Park where you'll catch a glimpse of iconic buildings like Castle Clinton (America’s first immigration station) before hopping aboard the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. Once you reach Liberty Island, your guide will introduce you to the famous lady herself and share some of the most fascinating facts about her—including why she almost wasn't built at all! You'll also have some free time to explore the Statue of Liberty Museum at your own pace. Here, you can discover artifacts from the statue's construction that tell the story of one man’s monumental dream that brought an entire city together.
In just two hours, you’ll have seen the Statue of Liberty and learned its story from an expert guide. No early wake-up calls, no waiting in ticket lines—just easy, intimate access to America’s most iconic monument.

Chutes mythiques et impressionnantes mais les explications de la visite sont parfois inutiles et servent à combler le temps.
