2 h
About this activity
Come with us and explore the oldest streets in New York Citys Lower Manhattan. You can stand where the first Dutch settlers traded with the Native Americans, swapping rifles for beaver pelts in what is now the Financial District. Youll learn how Downtown Manhattan evolved from a lawless outpost at the edge of the world to the greatest city on Earth.
Accompany us on a 2-hour walking tour and explore 400 years of New York history with our expert guides. You will visit iconic landmarks like Federal Hall where George Washington became President. Hear incredible stories from American history, such as the Hamilton-Burr duel or the Race for the Sky.
See the New York Stock Exchange, walk down Wall Street, and see the spot on the sidewalk where the stock market was born and visit the 9/11 Memorial and the incredible man-made waterfalls of Reflecting Absence.
Contemplate the solemn quiet of Trinity Church, burial place of American giants like Alexander Hamilton, and located in the former shadow of the Twin Towers. Pay your respects to those lost on 9/11 besides the flowing waters of Reflecting Absence, breath-taking fountains built in the footprints of the Twin Towers. Hear heroic tales of firefighters and first responders who struggled to save as many as they could. Marvel at the majestic height of One World Trade, symbolically rising from the ashes to represent the unwavering human spirit.
Conclude your tour with a visit to Battery Park through the Canyon of Heroes, the birthplace of the ticker-tape parade. Listen to stories of immigrants arriving in New York, seeking a better life. At the end of your tour, gaze over the waters of the bay and share what they first saw, the Statue of Liberty raising her lamp beside the golden shore.
