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

Our guide was a delight. She walked us all around Tribeca including bathroom and snack stops. We learned a few interesting tidbits and had a great time.

Our tour was chocked full of the history of Tribeca, from it's time as a marketplace to the present upscale residential neighborhood! Highlights--Western Union brick building, Jenga building, Various Mercantile buildings, ATT-brutalist concrete building...all beautiful and amazing and with their own histories!
