Step by Step

Begin your day at The Battery (formerly known as Battery Park). This historical landmark is the gateway between lower Manhattan and the small island in the midst of New York Bay - and of course, Lady Liberty.
Pause at Castle Clinton, a national monument, and for your guide to lay the context of your tour ahead.
Board the ferry and set sail through the open waters and take in the incredible views of New York Bay as you head for Liberty Island with your local tour guide.
Delve deep into the story of how Lady Liberty started in France and came to America. As you tour the island, your expert guide shares incredible historical facts of this greatest of American icons. If you choose the two-hour Statue of Liberty Express Tour option, your guided tour ends here. Opt to explore the Statue of Liberty Museum and Ellis Island on your own or board the return ferry back with your guide.
If you choose the four-four Fully Guided Statue of Liberty Tour with Ellis Island option, board the ferry for a short 10 minute boat ride to Ellis Island. Discover the stories of the millions of immigrants who journeyed through this historic site. Wander at your leisure with the award-winning Audio Guide (included). You can peruse the museum, dive into your own family history, or enjoy a bite at the Island’s popular cafeteria. You are also welcome to return on the ferry with your guide.
Enjoy free time on Ellis Island or join your guide on the ferry back to Battery Park, taking one last look of Lady Liberty from the water.
