About this tour

See two of New York City’s most recognizable landmarks in one five-hour outing, with private car transfers and a licensed guide to make the journey easy. This New York City Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building tour pairs a ferry ride to Liberty Island with timed, skip-the-ticket-office-line entry to the Empire State Building’s 86th-floor main deck.

Travel between sights in a private vehicle with pickup and drop-off at your accommodation. On the ferry, take in close views of the Statue of Liberty and hear your guide’s insights during the round-trip cruise. Once on Liberty Island, explore at your own pace; guided tours are not permitted there. Back in Manhattan, head to the Empire State Building for its main deck and sweeping city views. Security checks and elevator queues still apply at both attractions, and the ticket does not include the pedestal or crown.

With transportation, admissions, and a private guide arranged, this New York City Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building tour brings major highlights together in a compact visit. Book your tour and experience these landmark views firsthand.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
