Walk through Battery Park past the historic Castle Clinton, a 19th-century fortification that once defended New York Harbor and later served as the city's main immigration processing station before Ellis Island. A great first taste of the history that defines Lower Manhattan.

Board your reserved ferry at Whitehall Terminal and cruise across New York Harbor. Your guide provides live narration as the Manhattan skyline fades behind you and the Statue of Liberty comes into full view ahead.

Step onto Liberty Island and explore the grounds with your expert licensed NYC guide. Discover the fascinating story behind one of the world's most recognizable monuments—its design, symbolism, and lasting significance to generations of Americans and visitors alike. At the end of the guided tour, you're free to return to Manhattan with your guide or continue exploring on your own. Visit the Statue of Liberty Museum, then take the ferry to Ellis Island with included tickets to explore the National Museum of Immigration at your own pace before returning to Manhattan whenever you're ready.

If you choose to continue exploring after your guided tour, your next stop is the Statue of Liberty Museum. Explore at your own pace, come face to face with the original torch, and discover interactive exhibits that tell the remarkable story of Lady Liberty. Once you're ready, hop aboard the ferry to Ellis Island to continue your adventure.

Hop the ferry to Ellis Island, the gateway through which over 12 million immigrants passed in search of a better life. Walk the same halls they walked and explore one of America's most powerful and personal museums.

Step into the place where generations of newcomers began their journey to America. Explore Ellis Island at your own pace, visit the fascinating National Museum of Immigration, browse the exhibits, trace your family's roots, or simply relax with a meal or snack at the island's café before returning to Manhattan.
