Overview

Discover three of New York City's most iconic neighborhoods on the tour that started it all. We've been leading this route for more than 15 years and were the first company to combine SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown into one classic New York City walking tour.

As you explore, you'll discover that New York's neighborhoods are constantly evolving. Walk through historic Little Italy, much of which is now known as NoLita, see parts of SoHo that have taken on new identities, and learn how Chinatown has expanded over the decades. You'll also visit the site of the former Five Points neighborhood, uncovering the stories of the immigrant communities that transformed Lower Manhattan into the city we know today.

With an expert guide leading the way, you'll experience world-famous architecture, fascinating history, vibrant culture, and hidden stories that bring each neighborhood to life.
