About this experience

The Statue of Liberty has stood in New York Harbor as a symbol of freedom and democracy, and this guided walking tour brings you close to her story alongside two other landmarks: Ellis Island and Battery Park. Depending on the ticket type you choose, you can climb to the pedestal for a close-up view of the statue's details, or take the narrow spiral staircase up to the crown for views over the harbor and the New York skyline.

From Battery Park, the tour moves on to Ellis Island, home to the Immigration Museum, where exhibits trace the journeys of the millions of immigrants who passed through on their way into the country. A guide accompanies the group throughout, adding context to what you're seeing at each stop rather than leaving you to explore alone. Some ticket options also extend the day with a stop at Ground Zero, giving you a fuller picture of New York's landmarks in a single outing.

With several ticket types on offer, from a standard tour to a fully-escorted version that includes Ground Zero, you can pick the format that matches how much time you want to spend and how deep you'd like to go into each site's history.

What to expect

The tour begins in Battery Park, where your guide introduces the history behind the Statue of Liberty before heading out into the harbor. Depending on your ticket, you'll either explore the pedestal for a close-up look at the statue's construction and symbolism, or make the climb up the spiral staircase to the crown for a view over the water and the city skyline beyond.

From there, the tour continues to Ellis Island, where the Immigration Museum walks you through the stories of the millions who arrived here seeking a new life in America. Guides remain with the group across both stops, and some tour options extend further to include a visit to Ground Zero, rounding out the day with another key piece of New York's history.
