Since 1886, the Statue of Liberty has welcomed millions of visitors to New York City and the United States. This iconic landmark, a symbol of freedom and democracy, offers an up-close experience where you’ll discover its fascinating history and how it came to stand proudly on Liberty Island. Our tour includes priority access to the islands, ensuring you skip the lines, and is led by a professional, licensed New York guide who will take you through both Liberty Island and Ellis Island. At Ellis Island, explore the moving stories of millions of immigrants who arrived in the U.S. between 1892 and 1924 in search of a new life.
