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

Meagan was an excellent tour guide. Her enthusiasm , story telling abilities, and knowledge/research simply made the whole area come alive! You could tell she loves the history around her and imparts that love to those of us on her tour. Thoroughly enjoyed!!!

Meghan was awesome! My boyfriend and I are Tribeca locals and we had such an amazing time learning about the history of the area. Meghan made the whole experience super fun and engaging--she knew so much and was clearly genuinely excited about the material she was covering

I took this tour Thur 8/4 with my wife and son. It was very nice and informative tour. Tour guide "Meghan" was excellent. She was so kind and passinate informing the tour members about the history of TriBeCa and New York. She wanted to tell us as much and detailed as possible and even from a warm-hearted worldview. It fasinated me and my family.
