Buy your tickets at the official site and save your money
This trip was such a scam. I got a text with the tickets at around midnight the night before. So if you want to be woken up and have a sleepless night, this if for you. The meeting point said the View at Battery, it did not materialize and we had to rush to get to the ferry. Save your money and book at the official site statuecitycruises.com for $26 adults and $17 kids 4-12. It also comes with a self guided audio tour and admission to Ellis Island.

Birthday Tour
We had a bilingual tour guide she was a walking , talking encyclopedia. She shared her story of coming here from Cuba to the United States

Pretty good
I didn't know when I booked the tour that it was in s Spanish and English. Where did it say that ? It got confusing and took longer
via Tripadvisor
Not through Viator/ Amigo
Given instructions to meet at Starbucks for our guide, we arrived and along with other people waited and waited and asked other tour guides if this was correct place and they said yes. No one showed up. We walked across the park to see if people were meeting at another place. No one including tour guides knew or helped. I was traveling with two friends from out of town who had a dream to research Ellis Island for missing family. I felt so bad for them . This is how they started their vacation. I will never take another Viator tour. Plenty of advertising, plenty of followups but no follow through. A waste of my $130.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Statue of Liberty Tour with Ellis Island and Immigration Museum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does Statue of Liberty Tour with Ellis Island and Immigration Museum cost?
+
Prices start at $44 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 Tour with Ellis Island and Immigration Museum 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 Statue of Liberty Tour with Ellis Island and Immigration Museum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 601 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 Tour with Ellis Island and Immigration Museum?
+
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 Tour with Ellis Island and Immigration Museum suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Statue of Liberty Tour with Ellis Island and Immigration Museum?
+
Around 210 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 Statue of Liberty Tour with Ellis Island and Immigration Museum 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.
