FAQs
We’ll be on our feet for most of the tour on Liberty and Ellis islands. The ferry also has stairs. For this private tour, we can work with your mobility level to make sure you have a great experience.
There are security screenings before entering the ferry, so don’t bring blades, tools, aerosol, non-folding umbrellas, tripods, lighter fluid, etc.
The National Park Service does not allow any guiding inside the Statue of Liberty Museum or the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration. You will have time to explore these landmarks on your own during your visit after an introduction from your guide.
We understand plans change. You can always change your tour 24 hours or more before you tour. We offer a 100% refund up to 24 hours prior to your tour start time. Within 24 hours of your tour, we would have incurred hard costs and therefore cannot allow rescheduling or cancellation without costs.
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.
