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.

Timothy the tour guy was awesome! But I think you guys should tell people ahead of time that going inside the Statue of Liberty is not included and give us an option! I was very disappointed coming this far to see the statue and NOT being able to go inside! I was willing to pay the extra money! but they said they were booked for that day! My husband is disabled and was hard for him to travel this far and able to go inside very disappointed.

Very Good. Jorge was very knowledgeable and gives you plenty of time at each location. He talks loud enough for you to hear 😀
