Everybody visiting NYC should book this tour - we are so glad it even was included in our New York Passes, so we learned about this great way of exploring NYC's local and cultural history. With profound knowledge, tremendous enthusiasm and endless patience for all our questions we were brought into touch with historic sites and the rarely told details of history. We learned about the Lenape first native inhabitants of the area, the arrival of all sorts of colonialists and in their wake the cruel and sad reality of slavery - finally, the importance of solidarity and courage to achieve safety and dignity for all people. We were led to places we would not have discovered in a short visit to NYC, e.g. the African Burial Ground. Highly recommended... no, a must!

We had a wonderful time on the NYC Slavery and Underground Railroad Tour! After learning about the tour in Clint Smith's How the Word Is Passed, we were eager to learn more. The tour is roughly 2 and a half hours (so wear good walking shoes and prepare to be on your feet!), and we travelled through about a half dozen stops that related to slavery and the underground railroad in Manhattan. Our tour guide Mina and her colleague Sean led us through the stops in an engaging and thoughtful way. They expertly answered all our questions and shared lots of history that we hadn't learned before. We started outside the National Museum of the American Indian, then worked our way through Fraunces Tavern, the Slave Market Historical Marker, and the African Burial Ground National Monument, among other significant stops. We especially appreciated learning about Elizabeth Jennings place, named for the woman who, 100 years before Rosa Parks, fought to desegregate NYC transportation. Overall, we found the tour very impactful and informative. It was a wonderful opportunity for our family, and we would highly recommend it!
