Guidet Speakeasy-vandretur i New York City
Beskrivelse
Oplev New York Citys mest hemmelighedsfulde speakeasies på denne guidede, 3-timers vandretur for små grupper i Lower Manhattan. Tag en venlig gåtur for at opdage NYCs mest hemmelighedsfulde speakeasies, gemt bag umærkede døre, kaffebarer, restaurantkøkkener og meget mere. Spring køerne over med reserverede borde, nyd håndværkscocktails, og skru tiden tilbage til de brølende 20’ere, mens værten beskriver forbudets historie og årsagerne og virkningerne, der førte til vedtagelse og håndhævelse af den 18. ændring.

Rejseplan
Mødestedet for gruppen er altid i en park, hvor der er siddepladser, skygge og vand. Mens gruppen venter på, at alle de deltagende kommer, vil tourguiden give en generel kolonial historie i New York City og levere interessante fakta relateret til æraen - som hvorfor vi siger 'bukke' i stedet for dollars, hvorfor 'Houston' udtales forskelligt i NYC, og meget mere. Når hele gruppen er klar, vil tourguiden give en lille introduktion til speakeasy-turen og forklare, hvor lang tid det er, hvor mange speakeasies der vil blive besøgt (det er normalt seks eller syv), og på hvilket speakeasy gruppen vil få lov til at tag en drink. Tourguiden vil også forklare, hvor turen slutter, som altid er et område med natteliv, barer, klubber og restauranter - alt sammen beliggende i nærheden af metroindgange. På hver rundtur nydes den første drink ved den første tale. I de fleste tilfælde springer gruppen enten over linjen, får en reserveret tabel eller begge dele - men det er garanteret at springe over linjen. Mens man nyder en høj kvalitet, internationalt anerkendt, prisbelønnet cocktail, vil rejseguiden forklare årsagerne og virkningerne, der førte til vedtagelse af det 18. ændringsforslag (Forbud). Guiden forklarer ikke kun, hvordan og hvorfor det blev vedtaget, men historien om alkoholforbrug i USA generelt, alkoholbeskatningens historie og vigtigst af alt, hvordan USA forsøgte at håndhæve forbud. For hver drink skal du bruge op til en time, men i de fleste tilfælde tager gruppen kun ca. 40 minutter. Turguider er forpligtet til at forsikre sig om, at ingen føler sig for forhastet med at færdiggøre deres drinks, fordi de er fremstillede cocktails af høj kvalitet, som burde nydes og nydes. Nogle speakeasies har endda burleske shows, men alle er helt skjult udefra. Gå gennem umærkede døre, baggange, telefonkiosker, en banks hvælvingsdør bag en psykisk butik, gennem døre, der angiver 'Ingen indgang', 'kun nødudgang' eller endda gennem en Five Guys burger joint. De fleste af speakeasies er så godt skjult, at de fleste af vores klienter faktisk er lokale, der kæmper for at finde dem, selv med den fysiske adresse på deres telefoner. Ved det sidste stop giver guiden mulighed for enten at bo på den sidste tale for en tredje drink eller at udforske det stimulerede og livlige kvarter, hvor turen slutter, hvor der er mange nattelivscentre, restauranter, klubber, barer, stå op komedie, livemusik og meget mere.

The tour was great and was as it said. Stef was fantastic, very friendly, informative and fun. The bars we visited were full of history and would not have been found had you just walked around New York looking. The cocktail's were equally enique, finding some new flavors and mixes.
Alex knew a lot about the history and cocktails of the area. He was very easy to talk to. Our group was a perfect size just 5 and we were able to sit around a table together to converse easily about prohibition. He made great recommendations for drinks and other places to go. The speakeasies were varied with something for everyone. It was hard to pick a favorite.
Awesome experience highly recommend . The guide was extremely knowledgeable
The host is great!! Very responsive and kind. All the necessary details were communicated well and a contact number was provided if anything was needed.
This is a fun pub crawl with 4 stops and lots of great stories and explanations from the knowledgeable tour guide, Stefan. He really made the experience fun and special
Amazing Tour ! Alex is a very informative historian! Fun Evening !! The tour included three Speakeasy . We did not feel rushed . Alex answered all our questions with enthusiasm!
Tour guide cancelled without notifying us. The bar we were meeting at let us know that the guide would not be coming. Very disappointing to waste our time coming to the meeting point. I understand things happen, but with no notice and no direct message from the tour guide or viator is unacceptable.
Disappointed this was cancelled by the operator. We were only informed 3.5 hours before the start time by email. Reason for cancelling was 2 of the 3 speakeasy bars were closed for private functions!! Surely this would have been known earlier to give us a chance to rearrange our plans. Very annoying that we have wasted an evening in NYC through no fault of our own.
The Guided Speakeasy walking tour of NYC was a great experience! My wife and I had a great time listening to all the stories and learning all kinds of great historical information from our extremely knowledgeable and multi-lingual guide Alex. He is a great guide. Truly great at his craft. All of the speakeasies were awesome! Hidden and obscure, there is no way we would have ever found any of them on our own. We enjoyed it all and each place was very well thought out and planned. They were historic, original and completely unique. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the tour and would love to have the opportunity to try the experience again. Thanks so much to everyone on the whole operation of this tour who prepared the drinks, your service, and of course Alex for a wonderful experience! 😊 Rob
This was an amazing tour with fantastic curated stops with each stop having a different vibe. Alex was a great host and was a wealth of information. His grasp on history and geography was amazing and he made the night so interesting. The drinks at each location were delicious and the service at each was on point. This was our favorite activity in this trip and would highly recommend it. It makes a great date night, friends outing or solo traveler experience. Thanks for a great night Alex!
