Watch New York grow up before your eyes on this 5 hours Private Tour of Lower Manhattan and Midtown, combining two of the city’s most vibrant districts in one convenient experience. Your local guide will engage with Dutch history, the bustling traders on Wall Street, and the soaring skyscrapers of Manhattan’s iconic skyline. We’ll have a short break between the two areas to rest up and refuel.

Your exuberant guide will start by showing you the historical sites that most visitors overlook in Lower Manhattan, including Bowling Green and Castile Clinton in Battery Park. Learn about Alexander Hamilton at Trinity Church before fast-forwarding to the last century, when the Charging Bull took up residence among the NYSE and Federal Hall. Modern architecture soars overhead, once in the shadows of the World Trade Centre. Discuss the tragedy of 9/11 while visiting the official memorial as well as the firefighters’ memorial.

Then after a break for lunch, we travel north to Midtown and learn why it’s the “City That Never Sleeps.” Find out about the 19thand 20th-century additions to Manhattan that helped shape the urban landscape. Explore the lesser-known Marble Collegiate Church and then visit icons like the New York Public Library and the Morgan Library. From Madison Square Park to the quirky Flatiron building, you’ll discover the earlier innovations that helped build New York up, quite literally.

We’re more than just storytellers. Our young, passionate, and engaging guides approach touring in a different way. They will bring a personal touch to each tour, adding their own favourite anecdotes and tips along the way. They are there to listen to you, to answer your questions, and to create a dialogue – unlike other tours where they just lecture you as you go along. That’s the whole reason why we specialise in private and semi-private tours exclusively, to make sure you get the most possible out of your experience.
