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 Firehouse Company 8

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!

We hoped our scheduled Lower Manhattan Secrets and History Walking Tour would be good from its description, but we were delighted when it turned out to be beyond good - it was GREAT! Our tour guide, Meghan Sara, was excellent. She is so knowledgeable, informative, energetic, funny and a pleasure to be with. We learned so many interesting and surprising things about Lower Manhattan’s history! Meghan was also very thoughtful as she led us on the tour finding shade and places to sit along the way as well as clean restrooms, places to get a beverage/snack, and she graciously treated us to slice of NY pizza at the end of our tour. The tour was excellent, and we highly recommend the tour and particularly touring with Meghan!! The Toups New Orleans, LA
