Due to Covid-19, this tour has been amended to not only ensure the safety and well being of our guests, but to comply with restrictions and closures that our vendors may require. The Statue of Liberty may have limited access to its pedestal and Museum as well as Ellis Island and its attractions. We will edit and amend the tour to insure that our guests are given the best experience possible within these ever changing situations. Not everyone wants to catch the first ferry to the Statue of Liberty, and for those people we have the Essential Statue Tour - our most laid-back experience at the Statue of Liberty. This leisurely visit still features fascinating stories from our expert guides - but you don't have to wake up early to hear them! The crowds are a little larger on this afternoon tour, but for those who like to keep a relaxed schedule on their vacations, this is a great option.
At Walks we take your health and the health of our community seriously. To accomplish this, we have set a series of standards that will be implemented across every tour;
Your tour starts when you meet your guide and group of fellow visitors at Battery Park. After discovering more about famous buildings such as Castle Clinton and the Pier A Harbor House, you'll hop onto a ferry with your all-inclusive tickets and enjoy a scenic cruise over to Liberty Island.
Once on the island, prepare to become immersed in the story of America's most iconic statue. You might be surprised to learn that initially the Statue of Liberty was a tough sell to New Yorkers - in fact, the project was almost derailed numerous times due to lack of funding.

As you make your way towards the statue base grounds, you'll take in beautiful views of New York Harbor before standing in awe beneath Lady Liberty herself (the perfect spot for a photo or two!)
An exciting addition to Liberty Island, the brand new state-of-the-art Statue of Liberty Museum officially opened to the public in May 2019. Inside, you'll have time to discover amazing artifacts from the planning and building process and to learn why many of the things you think you know about the statue (including why it was built) are not what you've been led to believe!
Your guided tour ends on Liberty Island, but you can hop a ferry to Ellis Island for no extra charge and see the wonderful Immigration Museum, or just head back to Battery Park. Either way, your guide will give you directions and recommendations for how to spend the rest of your vacation.
In just three hours you'll have seen America's most iconic statue, delved into its fascinating story with your expert guide, and taken a few pictures from the grounds of Lady Liberty to prove it! Who says the early bird always gets the worm?
