What better way to see Lower Manhattan’s greatest attractions than with a local? This action-packed day tour gets going first thing in the morning, so you can get the most out of your day, taking you to see sites including:
- Battery Park with priority boarding aboard one of the first boats to Liberty Island
- Liberty Island and the Statue of Liberty
- Ellis Island, where 12 million people became Americans
- The Stairs of Separation and the Ellis Island Museum
- Castle Clinton National Monument, Pier A Harbor House (exterior), American Merchant Mariner’s Memorial, The Sphere, New York Korean War Veterans memorial
After a 2-2.5 hour break for some food and relaxing, you will get the ferry back to Battery Park where you'll meet your guide for the afternoon section of the tour. This part of the tour will take you to fantastic must-see locations such as:
- One World Observatory and World Trade Center memorial
- St Paul’s Chapel with insights into what happened here
- The Twin Reflecting Pools, built in the footprints of the World Trade Center and engraved with the names of every victim
- The Fireman’s Memorial and the Survivor's Tree
The highlight of the tour follows with a stop at the One World Observatory. With pre-reserved tickets, you don't have to worry about the crowds and can enjoy your independent visit. Take your time to explore this fantastic building, then board a ‘skypod’ to travel through time and space. You'll disembark at the top of One World Tower for incredible panoramic views over NYC.
