NYC City Tour: Statue of Liberty, 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street
Description
Spend your morning discovering the heart of Manhattan with a local to show you its biggest sights, from the skyscrapers of Wall Street to the pools and engraved names at the 9/11 Memorial. Start with the Financial District to get fascinating insight into the history of finance, politics, and power in NYC (and the world) as you walk by famous sights like Federal Hall and Trinity Church.

You can tour the Statue of Liberty Museum and even continue on to Ellis Island if you wish. Return at your leisure. The guided tour duration is 2-hours. Your trip to Liberty Island is self-guided.
