Get up close and personal with Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty on this 4-hour tour with your own guide. Enjoy priority boarding for the ferry to Lady Liberty, an iconic copper statue designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel. Dedicated on 28 October 1886, this statue was a gift to the United States from the people of France, and stands to this day for Americas principles of freedom and welcoming. Continue to Ellis Island, home to a federal immigration station that opened in 1892 and continued operations for more than 60 years before closing in 1954. Millions of immigrants passed through the station during that period. It is thought that at least 40 per cent of all current United States citizens can trace one or more of their ancestors to Ellis Island. Enjoy a guided tour of this island from your knowledgeable guide. When the tour concludes, you can choose to stay at Ellis Island to search for records of your family members, or return to Battery Park on a ferry that leaves every 15 minutes. You can upgrade to the pedestal by choosing the second option.Additional InformationConfirmation will be received at time of bookingChildren must be accompanied by an adultA minimum of XX people per booking is requiredA moderate amount of walking is involvedInclusionsEntrance feesNational Park feesTripAdvisor Experiences brokerage feeAdmission ticketLocal guideGuaranteed to skip the long linesWalking tourRound-trip ferryExclusionsFood and drinksGratuities (recommended)Souvenir photos (available to purchase)Hotel pickup and drop-offDeparture Point24 State St in front of Stabucks coffee across the street Battery ParkDeparture Time8:45amDuration4 hours 30 minutesVoucher InfoYou can present either a paper or an electronic voucher for this activity.The tour identified in this promotion is made available through Viator.
