Overview of your New york city tour:

On Liberty Island you will be treated with a hefty dose of pride and anecdotes around the most popular statue in the world! You will have the option to visit the pedestal and, you will have access to the brand new interactive museum (included) as well as all of the grounds for out-of-this-world picture opportunities! I will guide you around this magnificent monument while showing you some of my favourite sites that can be viewed from the island. You might even be able to catch a glance at the Queen Mary II making its bi-monthly stop in the harbour. We'll also visit the famous Ellis Island; the main entrance door to America for more than a half century. This experience is sure to move you and you may shed a tear or two as you discover the immigrants' quest for the American dream. Oh, I almost forgot! This is also one of the most beautiful views of Manhattan as seen from this Island! Simply breathtaking. . . Don't forget to take pictures, all your friends will be jealous!
