What to expect

1

Statue of Liberty

Get up close and personal with Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty on this 4-hour tour with your own guide. Enjoy priority boarding for the ferry to Lady Liberty, an iconic copper statue designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel. Dedicated on 28 October 1886, this statue was a gift to the United States from the people of France, and stands to this day for America's principles of freedom and welcoming.

Ellis Island

Continue to Ellis Island, home to a federal immigration station that opened in 1892 and continued operations for more than 60 years before closing in 1954. Millions of immigrants passed through the station during that period. It is thought that at least 40 per cent of all current United States citizens can trace one or more of their ancestors to Ellis Island. Enjoy a guided tour of this island from your knowledgeable guide. When the tour concludes, you can choose to stay at Ellis Island to search for records of your family members, or return to Battery Park on a ferry that leaves every 15 minutes. You can upgrade to the pedestal by choosing the second option.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
