Dutch Lower Manhattan Private Walking Tour

Overview
We'll explain not only the characters and the history but how the Dutch attitudes influenced the founding of America.

You'll learn who some of the people who were the matriarchs and patriarchs of Nieuw Amsterdam Society were, where they worshipped, what they did for a living and who is the famous 1940's movie star that was descendant from them!

You'll see the ruins of The Lovelace Tavern, a place often used as a meeting spot for the leaders of the town. You'll learn how Nieuw Amsterdam was the trading center for products that were shipped to Europe and how the Tobacco craze led to the ultimate downfall of the Dutch.

We'll learn about the Roosevelt family and how their influence extended back to the days of the Dutch!

Ann I'm so glad I booked your tour of the Dutch historical sites, we had such great talks and you opened up a whole new side of the city for me! Time flew by and I was left with the most amazing impressions, photo's, and new destinations to explore. Also greeting to Beth, your colleague who joined us.

The Guide was professional and well prepared. On the other hand, it is sad that New York City has preserved almost nothing of its origins. For example, places reserved for ruins, walls and foundations of the first arrivals as other cities have done. There was a place where you could see some ruins through a dirty plexiglass and everything is not maintained. There were some wall plaques but even in one place a commemorative plaque was removed. But the Guide did his best to make our visit interesting. Thank you.
