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!

Our guide Jihae Simpkins gave us a fascinating tour of Tribeca by bringing us back in time to the 18th century and highlighting the importance of Tribeca in the evolution of Manhattan. I had no idea there were so many historic buildings in Tribeca. Each block was filled with history and Jihae did an amazing job of recounting the history and weaving it to current day Tribeca. Thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Thanks so much for your review! We agree, there is SO much more to TriBeCa than most people would ever think... it's why we honored the neighborhood with it's very own tour! We are so glad you chose Metro Tours, come back and see us again soon!
