About this experience
What Makes This Tour Different from Others Its a Journey with Purpose, Not Just a Sightseeing Checklist Unlike typical New York group tours that rush participants past landmarks with minimal context, this experience offers something far more meaningful: a fun carefully crafted narrative journey through American history, resilience, and hope. Two Distinctive Experiences Seamlessly Combined Most group tours force you to choose: either a land-based walking tour or a water-based cruise. This tour brilliantly integrates both. Your group begins with an intimate walking experience through Lower Manhattan's historic streets, then transitions to a boat tour offering completely different perspectives of the same city. It's like getting two premium tours for the price of one, with each element enhancing the other. The walking portion builds anticipation and context, making the Statue of Liberty boat tour far more meaningful than if you simply showed up at a pier.

The guide did not appear-...
The guide did not appear- after calling Viator the guide returned our call after 15mins saying he had not been booked by Viator and would be another 1/2hr before he got to us. We cancelled and are still awaiting refund!
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry your tour did not go as planned, however we want to respectfully clarify a few important points for the record. Our guide was positioned at the correct designated meeting location at the agreed-upon time. Unfortunately, it appears there was a miscommunication and your group ended up in a different location. Despite this, our guide was prepared to backtrack — a 30-minute trip — to reach you and ensure your tour took place. Before he had the opportunity to do so, we understand you contacted Viator directly and elected to cancel. Viator advised that the cancellation was valid given the circumstances, and we respected that decision. Regarding the refund — that is processed entirely through Viator, and we encourage you to follow up with them directly if it has not yet been received, as we do not handle payments made through their platform. We genuinely wish your experience had been different. Our guides take great pride in showing visitors New York City, and we hope you will consider giving us another opportunity in the future — where we can ensure a seamless experience from start to finish.

Staten Island Tour
Our Staten Island St. George Pizza tour was great. Our tour guide Nancy did an amazing job in giving us the background to Staten Island. The pizza was just as great. The tour owner Michael was so kind and helpful. Sarah and Kelly from Texas highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit Staten Island for its history and to check it off your five boroughs of New York check list.
Response from the operator: Thanks for this great feedback. I do remember you both. I will be sure too to Share this review with Nancy. We hope to see you in Staten Island again. Michael Spence

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Statue of Liberty Boat Tour & 911 Memorial Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does Statue of Liberty Boat Tour & 911 Memorial Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $49 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 Statue of Liberty Boat Tour & 911 Memorial Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Statue of Liberty Boat Tour & 911 Memorial Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 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 Statue of Liberty Boat Tour & 911 Memorial Walking Tour?
+
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 Statue of Liberty Boat Tour & 911 Memorial Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Statue of Liberty Boat Tour & 911 Memorial Walking Tour?
+
Around 1 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Statue of Liberty Boat Tour & 911 Memorial Walking Tour 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.
