New York City Walking Tours
The subway has maps. The museums have audio guides. But the rest of the Big Apple doesn’t explain itself.
Our guided tours of New York bring the city to life and introduce you to the heroes, scoundrels, innovators, and gamblers who make New York great.
Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned New York traveler, you'll learn inside information you won't find anywhere else while sightseeing in NYC.
Wall Street & Ground Zero Walking Tour
The downtown walking tour starts in New York's hard-drinking colonial days and ends amidst the city's ongoing efforts to rebuild at Ground Zero.
You’ll hear the best stories from 400 years of Wall Street speculation, physical heroism, and political chicanery at City Hall. The tip of Manhattan has always been the heart of NYC and the key to understanding the rest of the city.
Meets at 11 a.m.
Grand Central & Times Square Walking Tour
The midtown walking tour takes you from the center of American theater in Times Square to the center of world diplomacy at the United Nations.
Along the way, you’ll meet diplomats who make the most of their immunity from U.S. law and writers who elevated the insult to an art form. You'll also learn the answer to that most puzzling of questions: Why do we drop a ball to celebrate the New Year?
Meets at 2 p.m.
Tours of New York for Less
Both of our walking tours hit several New York tourist attractions and lesser-known hotspots in two hours - for just $20 each.
