Join students from all over the world in this once-in-a-lifetime chance to see New York all decked out for holidays! Where better to begin a tour of New York, than at the top of the Top of the Rock. From the top we can see all of Manhattan and some of the other boroughs as well. On a ferry ride out to the Statue of Liberty we can photograph the amazing skyline before heading to Ellis Island to learn about the early settlers.
