This comprehensive guided tour takes you from the bustling shores of Battery Park through the hallowed halls of Ellis Island.

What You’ll Experience Step onto Liberty Island for a guided stroll around the monument. Your guide will share the "hidden in plain sight" secrets of the statue’s design and the dramatic story of its journey from France. The Immigrant Journey: Walk through the Great Hall where 12 million people began their American dream. Hear the personal, heart-wrenching, and triumphant stories of the families who passed through these very doors. The "Guide Advantage": Our guides are experts in NYC history who know the best photo spots and the quietest corners of the museums.
