What To Expect

TriBeCa

With over 300 years of history, Tribeca combines historical landmarks and brave architectural feats into one fascinating neighborhood. Tribeca has a distinct personality all on its own, so we decided to honor it with its own tour. And trust us, no architecture knowledge is needed to enjoy this tour. If you enjoy beautiful buildings, amazing history and hearing incredible stories about how a farmland turned into one of New York City's most famous neighborhoods, and the wealthiest zip code in the United States, this tour is for you! During our 2 1/2 hours together, we will visit over 15 locations, stopping for pictures and learning about how Tribeca got its name, how the neighborhood played a huge part in the formation of Manhattan, and seeing some of the most hidden, or easily missed, historical sights in the neighborhood!

GhostBusters Firestation

One of the most famous stops on our TriBeCa Architecture and History Tour is the GhostBusters Firehouse. You will learn how this firehouse is SO much more than just a movie prop!

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

I live in the neighborhood and learned so much! I was a bit weary of getting the usual NYC stories everyone knows, but Meghan is a real historian, story teller, and very entertaining which made the tour extremely enjoyable. I highly recommend Tribeca as a destination. It is one of the earliest neighborhoods in the city and is incredibly rich in history and importance. Best tour I’ve has here or elsewhere. Alex.
