Your Experience

Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Guided Tour with Ferry

Step into a journey where history breathes and freedom stands tall. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a chance to walk in the footsteps of dreamers, to feel the weight of hope carried across oceans, and to gaze up at one of the world’s most iconic symbols with fresh eyes. From the gentle rock of the ferry to the quiet whispers of Ellis Island’s halls, every moment here connects you to stories that shaped a nation.

Tour Overview

Picture this: A crisp breeze off New York Harbor as you glide past skyscrapers toward Lady Liberty’s welcoming torch. Your guide doesn’t just share dates—they bring to life the immigrants who arrived with nothing but courage, the workers who built this colossus, and the artists who turned copper into a beacon. You’ll touch the past at Ellis Island, stand in the shadow of the statue’s crown, and leave with a deeper sense of what it means to begin anew. This is more than sightseeing; it’s a pilgrimage to the heart of the American dream.

Revealing Statue of Liberty

There she stands—305 feet of hope, her green patina softened by a century of salt and sun. Up close, you’ll notice the details often missed: the chains at her feet (a quiet nod to abolition), the tablet inscribed with the date of independence, and the way her face seems to shift with the light. Your guide will share how she was built—piece by piece in Paris—then shipped across the ocean like a puzzle of promise. When you tilt your head back to take her in, you’re not just seeing a statue; you’re feeling the weight of millions of stories she’s witnessed.

Unveiling Statue of Liberty Museum

Step inside a treasure chest of history where original torches, sketches, and even the statue’s foot tell their own tales. The museum isn’t just about artifacts—it’s about people: the blacksmiths who hammered her copper skin, the poet Emma Lazarus who gave her a voice, and the children who pressed their noses to ship railings for their first glimpse of her. Don’t miss the immersive film that lets you soar above the harbor as if you’re seeing her for the first time, just like those who arrived a century ago.

Memorable Moments

• The ferry ride at golden hour, when the statue glows against a pink sky and the city skyline sparkles like a distant mirage.
• Running your fingers over the names etched into Ellis Island’s walls—your great-grandparents’ might be there, waiting to be found.
• Standing in the statue’s pedestal, where the wind hums through the windows and you swear you can hear the echoes of cheers from 1886.
• Sharing a laugh with fellow travelers as you all crane your necks to snap the perfect photo—then realizing the best shot is the one where you’re all grinning like kids.

This is your invitation to do more than see New York—it’s a chance to feel its heartbeat. Whether you’re tracing your family’s journey or simply hungry for wonder, this tour leaves you with stories to tell and a newfound appreciation for the courage it takes to start over. Come stand where dreams first touched shore. Your place on the ferry is waiting.

What's Included

Your journey is thoughtfully crafted to immerse you in the heart of this breathtaking destination—where every detail is designed to delight, inspire, and leave you with stories to share for years to come. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be wrapped in warmth, adventure, and the kind of hospitality that feels like coming home.

• Seamless private transfers—because the adventure begins the second you land. A friendly local driver will greet you with a smile (and maybe a cold drink) to whisk you away in comfort, whether it’s from the airport, between cities, or to hidden gems off the usual path.
• Handpicked boutique stays that reflect the soul of each place—think sun-drenched villas with views of rolling hills, charming family-run guesthouses where the breakfast is made with love, or eco-lodges nestled in the wilderness, where the only sounds are birdsong and the rustle of leaves.
• Meals that tell a story. Savor slow-cooked stews in a mountain village, feast on seafood so fresh it was caught that morning, and share laughter over long, leisurely dinners where every dish is a celebration of local flavors. (And yes, dietary wishes are always honored—just say the word.)
• A passionate local guide who doesn’t just show you the sights but unlocks them—sharing legends passed down for generations, pointing out the best spot for golden-hour photos, and knowing exactly which street vendor makes the crispest empanadas. They’re your cultural bridge, your storyteller, and soon, your friend.
• Exclusive cultural encounters that go beyond the surface. Weave textiles with artisans whose families have perfected the craft for centuries, learn to dance to the rhythm of traditional drums, or sit down with a historian in a quiet courtyard to hear the untold stories of the land.
• Unforgettable experiences tailored just for you—whether it’s a private sunrise boat ride on glassy waters, a guided hike to a secret waterfall, or a starlit concert in an ancient amphitheater. These are the moments that will linger long after you’ve returned home.
• Thoughtful surprises along the way—a handwritten note with your morning coffee, a basket of local fruits in your room, or an impromptu stop at a roadside stand for the juiciest mangoes you’ve ever tasted. Travel should feel magical, and we believe in the little touches that make it so.
• Peace of mind, always. From 24/7 support during your trip to carefully curated safety measures, we’ve handled the details so you can focus on what matters: soaking in the beauty, the connections, and the joy of discovery. (And yes, we’ll even help you pronounce the tricky local phrases!)

This isn’t just a trip—it’s an invitation to belong, if only for a little while, to a place and its people. We can’t wait to welcome you.
