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!

Matt was an excellent tour guide! We were lucky enough to have the guide to ourselves. He was so knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and pointed out many other interesting spots along the route. If you really like architecture and history this is definitely a great tour! Matt is a super tour guide, accommodating and thoughtful, when it got too cold and we couldn’t feel our feet, he found a perfect place for us to stop and enjoy some warm treats! We definitely recommend this tour!
