You’ll meet your guide outside the Alexander Hamilton US Custom House and catch a ferry over to Ellis Island, where generations of immigrants arrived in America. Here, you’ll have some time to admire views of the Statue of Liberty and to analyze the records of the migrants who passed through there. You’ll catch another ferry across the rivers with stunning views of Manhattan in the background before arriving back in the Financial District. Then your guide will take you through the district and to Wall Street, calling in at immigrant-owned food carts. You’ll taste a sample of delicious international cuisine from several carts. At the end of the tour, your guide can tell you how to get back to your hotel or can give you tips on where to visit next. 

This tour is accessible for people with disabilities. All ferries are wheelchair-accessible and many places visited have accessible bathrooms. Minimal assistance is required to navigate but your guide can help you if you wish. read more
