Tackle the tangle of cops and cabs in between the skyscrapers and subways. Learn everything about shrinks and DINKs and why there are more wise guys downtown in Little Italy than uptown at Columbia University. We explore all of Manhattan: from the Upper West Side to the Lower East Side! Get ready to see the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts, home of The Metropolitan Opera, The New York City Ballet, The New York Philharmonic Orchestra and several other resident performing arts companies.
Experience the bustle of the Financial District including Wall Street and Ground Zero, the site of the previous World Trade Center Towers and now home to the One and Four World Trade Center buildings. A visit to the iconic Central Park is a must-do when visiting the Big Apple. We also take a trip through SoHo, notable for being the location of many artists' lofts and art galleries, and for the wide variety of stores present.
We head to Chinatown and explore Greenwich Village or, as the locals call it, ‘the Village’, the birthplace of the east Coast Beat and ‘60s counterculture movements. Contrast this with a peek at the street known as home to the most expensive shopping in the world, Fifth Avenue. Be entertained by trivialities like New York history or politics. Then realise what really matters here like who's pitching for the Yankees or how to calculate a Kennedy's life expectancy. This six-hour guided walking tour is a great means of immersing yourself in New York City.
