Tour description

Join Alex on a walking tour through the streets of old New Amsterdam and Colonial New York.  Learn about the City’s earliest days, from Native American wilderness, to Dutch farmland, and eventually to America’s largest city.

We'll explore new York City's oldest streets, uncovering NYC secrets along the way.

Eventually we'll arrive at many of New York's most recognizable attractions.  You'll learn the history behind The Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, Trinity Church, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, St Paul's Chapel, City Hall, and the Woolworth Building.

Along the way you'll have plenty of time to ask questions and engage with Alex on any number of topics. 

The tours are casual, flexible, and fun, so bring your curiosity and a comfortable pair of walking shoes!

Alex has been one of the best guides we've had since our 2 year trip around the world. He knows New York like it's his living room and also has the best and cheapest tips for us. He offers many tours and takes the time to answer every question.
