FAQs
We’ll be on our feet for most of the tour on Liberty and Ellis islands. The ferry and the Statue of Liberty pedestal also have stairs. For this private tour, we can work with your mobility level to make sure you have a great experience.
If you bring food, backpacks, strollers, and other large items, you’ll need to store them in lockers before entering the Statue of Liberty. Lockers typically cost around $0.25. There are security screenings as well before entering the ferry or Statue of Liberty, so don’t bring blades, tools, aerosol, non-folding umbrellas, tripods, lighter fluid, etc.
Yes, but they’re not guided portions of the tour. The National Park Service doesn’t allow guiding inside the Statue of Liberty pedestal, the Statue of Liberty Museum, or the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration, so your guide will prep you for these attractions and then let you explore them on your own.
We understand plans change. We offer a 100% refund up to 24 hours prior to your tour start time. We also offer rescheduling to another date at no extra cost if you’re unable to make this tour. Please keep in mind there are no refunds available if you have already rescheduled your tour.
Our tours run rain or shine, so please check the local forecast to plan. In rare cases when we have to cancel for extreme weather, we’ll offer you the chance to reschedule or give a full refund.
Tips are always appreciated but never expected. They’re a great way to tell your guide they did an awesome job and show your appreciation.
