No trip to New York City is complete without a stop at two of its most iconic attractions – the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. And with Beyond Times Square, you don’t have to navigate the journey to Battery Park or the ferry ride to visit these iconic islands on your own thanks to our comprehensive private Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island experience.

Your stress-free adventure begins when your private guide picks you up at your hotel (with your driver and private luxury vehicle should you chose to purchase transportation) and accompanies you to Battery Park. Here you’ll be escorted through check-in and security in order to board the ferry to Liberty Island. On the trip over to Lady Liberty you’ll take in breathtaking views of the Statue from the water and realize that you are witnessing what millions of immigrants first saw when they entered New York Harbor. Upon arrival your expert guide will tour the island with you, answer any questions and then leave you to explore the Statue of Liberty Museum at your leisure.

After you’re done on Liberty Island your guide will help you re-board the ferry to your next stop, Ellis Island. Your Ellis Island history listen will begin with an introduction from your guide and then continues as you enter the historical Ellis Island Immigration Museum, walking through the Great Hall as twelve million people once did, who just so happen to be the ancestors of more than half of the US population. While there you will also have the chance to search for your family surname on the American Immigrant Wall of Honor.

Upon completion of your time at Ellis Island your guide will once again escort you to the ferry that will return you to Battery Park and your awaiting private driver for the journey back to your hotel (or drop off point of your choice), where you are sure to scroll through the day’s photos and reflect on the walk through history you just partook in.
