Guided Tour of Statue of Liberty, 9/11 Memorial & Wall Street

Guided Tour of Statue of Liberty, 9/11 Memorial & Wall Street

This comprehensive 5-hour New York tour combines three of the city's most significant sites in a single day. You'll explore the historic Financial District on Wall Street, pay respects at the solemn 9/11 Memorial, and take the ferry to Liberty Island to visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Your expert guide provides context and stories throughout, making this more than just sightseeing.

Starting in Lower Manhattan's Financial District, you'll walk along Wall Street as your guide explains how New York transformed from New Amsterdam into the world's financial centre. You'll learn about the New York Stock Exchange and hear stories that shaped America's economy. The tour then moves to the 9/11 Memorial, where you'll visit the two reflective pools marking the Twin Towers' footprints and understand the events of September 11, 2001.

The ferry portion takes you to Liberty Island with priority boarding, skipping the ticket lines. On the island, you'll explore the Statue of Liberty Museum and step onto the pedestal for views over Manhattan and the harbour. Your ticket also includes Ellis Island Museum access, where millions of immigrants began their American lives. Audio guides in multiple languages enhance your visit to both islands.
