Description

Take a ferry and see two of New York's iconic islands: Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Get up close and personal with the Statue of Liberty and learn the history behind the statue and how it came to be on Liberty Island. The tour includes priority, reserved access to the islands; a professional, licensed NYC tour leader who will guide you through both islands; and access to the Statue of Liberty Museum and the National Museum of Immigration on Ellis Island. On Ellis Island, you will learn about the journey of the millions of immigrants who passed through the island from 1892-1924, arriving in America, in search of a better life. Due to site regulations, your tour guide might not be able to accompany you inside the sites; regardless, they will offer a complete explanation of what you will experience inside. If you prefer to visit the Statue on your own, select the Basic Option, which includes an Interactive Audio Guide. All the information on your device! Please, remember to download the audio guide before starting the tour. If on the contrary, you want to enhance your experience, take the premium option. You will enjoy a guided tour with a professional guide like in the Classic option, but you will also have access to the interactive Audio Guide to complete the information in those places where the guide is not allowed to explain.
