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!

Traveler reviews
Charlie is the Best
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 Made History Come Alive
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.
Great Statue of Liberty tour with Charlie!
We had a great time on our Statue of Liberty tour with Charlie! He was knowledgeable and entertaining, and made the tour very fun. Would definitely recommend!
Highly recommended
An absolutely fantastic tour - Charlie was the best guide we've ever had - highly recommended!
Great tour. Meeting spot tricky.
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.
