Highlights

Harlem Walking Tour

Take a walk through the vibrant African American streets full of colorful houses and churches that makes Harlem so unique. Our tour guide will show you the neighborhood’s famous landmarks such as Schomburg Center of Research, Columbia University or the Apollo Theater. Although world famous, Harlem may be New York’s best kept secret with some of the city’s most interesting architecture, food, music and people.

Williamsburg & Bushwick

Start with a visit through Williamsburg, its once gritty industrial landscape transformed into a flourishing and vibrant artistic community. View cutting-edge graffiti murals from some of NYC’s most innovative emerging artists. Have a look at some of Brooklyn’s trendiest stores. Then, delve into the dynamic neighborhood of Bushwick through an exploration of its street art, part of the contemporary American culture.

Dumbo, Brooklyn Heights & Park Slope

Stroll through its tree-lined streets and discover why Brooklyn is famous for its unique collection of architectural styles reflective of the borough’s history. See Brownstones, carriage houses and a cornucopia of beautiful churches; the most of any of the 5 boroughs. Brooklyn is also home to many writers and artists like Arthur Miller, Truman Capote, Larry David and Jay Z just to name a few. From colonial times to present day learn all about the history of its diverse communities.

Meatpacking, The High Line and Chelsea

The meandering, block-paved streets of Manhattan’s meatpacking district and the old, steel rail tracks of the elevated train that runs overhead provide a glimpse back through time to an era when New York lay at the crossroads of American commerce. Today, with its upscale restaurants and boutiques, the area has transformed into one of the most exciting destinations in the city. During this High Line tour, we’ll trace the history of New York’s industrial age from the 1840s to the 1940s, putting the contemporary space in context.

Greenwich Village, SOHO, Little Italy and Chinatown

With its meandering streets, vibrant history, and strong sense of community, there’s one area of New York City that stands out from the rest. During this in-depth walking tour of NYC’s Greenwich Village, we explore the history of this enigmatic neighborhood, from its Native American roots, through the Dutch tobacco farms and the English estates of “Green Wich,” to the Bohemian emergence of the Village. Then, our guide will take you on a relaxing stroll through SoHo, Little Italy and Chinatown. You will have the opportunity to walk through the Fashionistas and cast iron buildings of Soho, visit famous mafia locations in Little Italy and watch people bargaining with street vendors in Chinatown.

Not only a very knowledgable guide called Duane, but also a jolly good fellow. - We learned so much more about New York, hip places, architecture and history. Though it was very cold Januaryday, we had a lot of fun and we would do it again. Thank you, Duane!
