Amazing adventure!
Love it all! Paula was very informative and wonderful! Highly recommend her in the future! She even made certain to escort us to the taxi stand as well.

Fantastic tour with a knowledgeable guide
We lucked out on this trip - we were the only ones to have booked for the time slot, and the inclement weather cleared just in time to get to the boat! David Medeiros was our tour guide, and he was fantastic from start to finish. My parents were in town visiting from the UK and Liberty Island was high on their list. David was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny, and really took care of us. His insights made the trip all the more fascinating and added an extra dimension compared with just seeing the places.
Response from the operator: Thank you for joining us. We aim to provide good insight on our monuments.

Statue of Liberty
Tour was excellent and hassle free. Tour guide very knowledgeable. I certainly would recommend using this tour group.
Response from the operator: Thank you for joining us on the tour. We appreciate your visit to New York City.

Tour guide abandoned us mid-way through
The Tour was very informative. The only thing that I found odd was the tour guide and group were no where in sight and I couldn't contact the tour guide to find where they went. I feel duped
Response from the operator: The Tour Guide sets a meeting time for the group. If you choose to be on your own, you are entitled to explore at your convenience. The Tour Guide reports all people who didn't show up at meeting time and the group continues.

Tour to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, New York
Absolutely superb visit with a hugely informative and interesting Guide from the American Tour Guide Association. As a family this was our first visit to New York and the first time we have booked an excursion in the UK using Trip Advisor. It was a fantastic day! We were greeted at the Meeting point by our tour guide Paula, who throughout was hugely welcoming, informative, knowledgeable and humorous making this an iconic visit to two iconic landmarks one we will never forget! Thank you.
Response from the operator: Our goal is to create great memories. We welcome your return to our beautiful city.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lower Manhattan Tour with Statue of Liberty View: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does Lower Manhattan Tour with Statue of Liberty View cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lower Manhattan Tour with Statue of Liberty View take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is Lower Manhattan Tour with Statue of Liberty View worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lower Manhattan Tour with Statue of Liberty View?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lower Manhattan Tour with Statue of Liberty View suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Lower Manhattan Tour with Statue of Liberty View?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lower Manhattan Tour with Statue of Liberty View start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
