Statue of Liberty Express: Museum, Statue Grounds, Battery Park
Description
So many people visit the Statue of Liberty each year that it can be hard to get the exact dates you want. This afternoon Statue of Liberty tour takes care of that for you with pre-reserved ferry tickets, so all you have to do is show up and get ready to meet Lady Liberty. And with an afternoon departure, you'll have plenty of time to hit up some other must-see NYC sights in the morning (or simply sleep in!). Just meet your guide, hop on a ferry, and get ready for an insightful visit to New York's most recognizable resident. Choose the four-hour option for a more in-depth visit with your guide, including the Statue of Liberty Museum and Ellis Island.

Itinerary
The first stop on your tour is Battery Park where you'll catch a glimpse of iconic buildings like Castle Clinton (America’s first immigration station) before hopping aboard the ferry to the Statue of Liberty.
Once you reach Liberty Island, your guide will introduce you to the famous lady herself and share some of the most fascinating facts about her—including why she almost wasn't built at all! You'll also have some free time to explore the Statue of Liberty Museum at your own pace. Here, you can discover artifacts from the statue's construction that tell the story of one man’s monumental dream that brought an entire city together.

It was great and Rob C. Was very knowledgeable.
Charlie was such a great tour guide! He had knowledge of not only New York City but his experience is in Los Angeles and San Francisco my hometown! Charlie not only had tons of knowledge about Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty but also about the history of New York City itself! Charlie made the tour fun and also threw in a list of his own personal best places to eat and I did go to liberty bagel and it was absolutely amazing! You have to book with Charlie ASAP!
Mindy C was an amazing tour guide for our Statue of Liberty visit. Her storytelling was fantastic, her knowledge was outstanding, and she made the history come alive in a way that kept everyone engaged. You could tell she truly loves what she does, and it made our experience even more memorable. Highly recommend Mindy.

An absolutely fantastic tour - Charlie was the best guide we've ever had - highly recommended!
Mindy was great. She knew a lot of the history and fun facts. She made sure everyone stayed with the group and took pictures for us. The only downside, which was not Mindy's fault, is that it was a nightmare trying to find the meeting spot. Apparently there are a lot of scam artists hanging around 1 Bowling Green. We were told to go 4 different places before we finally found our guide. The tour company should start telling folks to meet in front of Starbucks. Maybe offer a Starbucks coupon too. That's the only thing that could have been better.
Tainley, Thank you for the feedback! We’re so glad to hear Mindy made the tour enjoyable with her knowledge, fun facts, and attentiveness to the group — we’ll be sure to share your kind words with her. We’re very sorry the meeting process near 1 Bowling Green was frustrating. That area can be hectic, and we appreciate your suggestion about clearer directions, such as referencing Starbucks. We’ll be sure to pass that along to our team. Thanks again for sharing your experience! Warm Regards, Sarah Walks & Devour Team
