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!

This was a great tour. I have taken some tours in New York in the past and had heard some of the history of Tribeca and I was interested in learning more. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and fun. She very clearly and completely explained the history of this area. She also had perfect timing with the bathroom and nourishment break. I would highly recommend this tour.

Meghan was a terrific architectural tour guide. She provided both historical context and insights into architectural details and design rationales. We learned a lot and got some great pictures. As Meghan knew the best vantage points.
