Private New York Downtown Highlights Half Day Tour
Overview
Don't get me wrong: I love the hustle and bustle of Times Square and Midtown Manhattan. But I'll let you in on a little secret: few New Yorkers actually spend much of our time there. Come along and explore the city we really live in instead!
Greenwich Village. The Lower East Side. SoHo. Chinatown. Wall Street. The World Trade Center. These are iconic parts of the city, and on this half-day tour, you’ll catch them all at your own pace, experiencing the city on foot just like locals do.
From the idyllic, celebrity-filled neighborhood of Greenwich Village (what other neighborhood can claim to have been the home of Taylor Swift, Bob Dylan, and the cast of Friends?), to the colonial origins of Wall Street, downtown is the cultural hub of New York City, home to the city's most notorious establishments and exciting history.
Follow along as you discover how true New Yorkers have lived for hundreds of years and continue to influence the city's most iconic neighborhoods.
