Rejseplan
Du begynder din tur på Battery Park, en offentlig park beliggende på den sydlige spids af Manhattan Island. Her vil du kort se attraktionerne og monumenterne, som parken indeholder og lære alt om dens historie som en af de ældste dele af Manhattan.
Før du rejser til Liberty Island, vil du lære om Castle Clinton, et vartegn, der ikke kun repræsenterer byens vækst, men nationens vækst. Det blev bygget fra 1808 til 1811 og var den første U.S.-immigrationsstation, hvor mere end 8 millioner mennesker ankom i USA mellem 1855 og 1890.
Du vil også passere Seaglass Carousel, en karusel med fiske-tema, der repræsenterer et symbol på bedring i området, der led skade fra orkanen Sandy i 2012. Du vil være i stand til at sætte pris på karrusellens design, da design sammen med konstruktionen næsten tog en årti.
Herfra går du ombord på færgen ved New York Harbour, en del af havnen i New York. Ligger ved mundingen af Hudson-floden er det en af de største naturlige havne i verden.
Du kommer til Liberty Island, som ligger lige ved den sydlige spids af Manhattan Island. Her ser du den berygtede Frihedsgudinden, højdepunktet på din rejse. Du lærer alt om hendes historie og hvordan hun kom til at være på øen.
Derefter besøger du Ellis Island, en ø, der indeholder et museum og et tidligere indvandringskontrolcenter. Det var landets travleste indvandringskontrolstation fra 1892 til 1954. *Ellis Island Immigration Museum er uafhængig* Guiding er ikke tilladt inde i museet, men din guide vil dele alle oplysninger med dig, før du går ind.
I løbet af din tid på Ellis Island vil du se den amerikanske immigrantmur af ære, en permanent udstilling med individuelle eller familienavne. Det er det eneste sted i U.S.A., hvor en person kan ære sin familiehistorie ved et nationalt monument.

It was great. Charlie was wonderful and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to help us and was very personable and would do any your with him.
Kevin was super knowledgeable and personable. We had our young son with us and he included him with everything so he stayed engaged. Kevin seemed to have interesting anecdotes and facts about everything we saw and was a great storyteller. A great day!
Charlie was our guide on this tour and he was fantastic! We had my 9 year old daughter with us and he was really good about being sure to include her, ask her questions, get her thinking, and was able to bring the tour to a relatable level for her. Charlie was very knowledgeable, charismatic, and made sure we had the best experience. We wanted to see our family members names on the wall of honor at Ellis Island and he took us right to their spot! He was also gracious enough to offer up some great food spots and a list of activities that he thought would interest my 9 year old!
Charlie was engaging, knowledgeable, personable and theatrical. Excellent tour guide. We all enjoyed having Charlie as our personal tour guide.
Our tour guide Cherie was excellent! She was knowledgeable, professional, and funny. Thanks to her we learned so much, and we had a very enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Cherie!
We had a great time with Kevin. An exciting moment of history for the whole family, with a passionate guide
Charlie was extremely knowledgeable and very articulate. We enjoyed the details. Would highly recommend this to anyone.
Lots of good information, but we would have loved to have have gotten to go into pedestal. Thanks Charlie
Charles M led us on an educational, engaging, and energizing tour of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. He found quiet spots for us to explore and discuss and navigated us through the crowds quickly. We gained new insights into the history of these two iconic pieces of America’s history.
We have 3 kids, ages 10, 7, and 7. Charlie made sure to focus on them and keeping their attention. I think they actually learned some things. Great success!
