New York is among the United States’ earliest cities, with a majority of its abundant history over the past four centuries focused on the lower part of Manhattan. From the impact of the Dutch colonizers to the terrorist attacks by Al-Qaeda in 2001, it stands as a pivotal location in humanity’s narrative. Embark on a personal exploration of the city’s historical core with your own guide.
Your excursion begins with the modest story of the first settlers in the city, journeying from a laid-back Dutch commercial outpost to the steep rise of the world’s most active financial hub. You’ll have the delight of exploring Stone Street in the Historic District before progressing northward, mirroring the original settlers’ path.
Navigating Wall Street, you’ll unravel how a street market from the 18th century would eventually evolve into a worldwide trading hub.
At the National 9/11 Memorial, your guide will enlighten you about the chronicles of the World Trade Center, scrutinize the heartbreaking events of 9/11, and guide you in understanding the Memorial’s design.
