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.

Good to know before you go
  • Please note that each option has different inclusions.
  • If you choose the Basic Option we will send your ferry tickets before the activity date and you must validate the QR ticket directly on the ferry at Statue Cruises, Battery Park, New York, NY 10004, United States (Remember to show the ferry QR ticket, the one that Amigo Tours, will send before).
  • We will send you the instructions to download your audioguide. For a better experience we recommend you to download "Amigo Tours" app.
  • Due to the security check to go on board the ferry every client has to wait a line. This line can take until 2 hours depending on the affluence. We recommend taking a hat and suncream on summer and you can also use this time to make turns and use the toilette
  • Please note that luggage, scooters or other bulky objects are not permitted on the ferry. We cannot be held responsible if you are denied access with any of these items.
