Description

Discover two legendary landmarks in New York history: the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island!

Head to Battery Park, on the southern tip of Manhattan, to board a ferry that will take you to Liberty Island. Once on the island, you'll get up close to one of America's most famous landmarks: the Statue of Liberty. You'll admire and be impressed by its immensity. You'll be free to wander around the island and take the tour at your own pace.
(pedestal access and crown not included).

You'll then take the ferry to Ellis Island to discover the story of millions of American immigrants. You'll visit the Immigration Museum, one of France's favorite museums in New York! An ideal way to learn more about American history!

When you're ready, take the ferry back to Manhattan, after a day rich in history.

Les clients sont globalement très satisfaits de l'expérience, trouvant la visite superbe et bien organisée. Certains mentionnent des attentes, mais la plupart soulignent la facilité d'accès et la qualité des commentaires audio. Quelques remarques sur les billets prioritaires et l'échange des vouchers, mais dans l'ensemble, une expérience très positive.

Ce n'est pas une entrée directe il faut quand même passer par la case ticket. Mais prendre une heure fixe est quand même mieux
