Tour a pie por la ciudad de Nueva York con basura y ratas
Descripción
El Tour a pie Basura y ratas en Nueva York es una inmersión única en temas sucios : - cómo la ciudad de Nueva York se construye sobre basura; - cómo prosperan las ratas en el consumo humano; -y cómo NYC ha lidiado con estos dos sucios problemas causantes de enfermedades desde 1626. Aprenderemos sobre biología y hábitos de ratas, sistemas de eliminación de basura, ratas metafóricas (es decir, corruptos) e historias asquerosas que presentan todo lo anterior. ¡Esta es la intersección de la ciencia y la historia en su máxima expresión! El guía es un graduado de la New York City Trash Academy, la New York City Rat Academy, y miembro del New York City Rat Pack, "un escuadrón de élite de dedicados activistas anti-ratas". Ratas, basura e historia de la ciudad de Nueva York son sus pasiones! Tenga en cuenta : Durante el recorrido podemos o no ver ratas, pero todos aprenderán mucho sobre la larga historia de NYC con basura y ratas!

Suzanne , our guide, is so informative and her presentation so captivating, that it is one of the best walking tours I’ve taken! We walked and she pointed out rat burrows in landscaped patches, then a rat would pop out and then it’s playmate, then rat games ensued. The phones came out. She located city benches where we would sit and enjoy her teaching off our feet- she had a big notebook of photos of NYC from its very inception, and of all the garbage and poop that was in the streets! We saw the tall ships in the harbour tied up with fat, fat ropes - down which the rats used to disembark to get comfortable in their new home. All in all Suzanne made this one of my favorite evenings in NYC this visit!
This is so wonderful to hear! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it so much, and thank you for sharing! I truly appreciate it. :)
This was a fascinating tour, with so much local history woven in. My husband and I loved it and learned so much, even though we've spent time in the Financial District before. Great guide and we highly recommend the tour. I think older children would love the tour too!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, even in the heat!
We had a lovely time. We heard interesting stories about the rats and garbage in the city and we really loved the streets where the tour took place. The guide’s enthousiasm and knowledge made the experience amazing.
Thank you so much! It was such a fun evening!
Tour guide Suzanne’s expertise, sense of humor and teaching skills made “Rats and Garbage of NYC” an exceptional experience. I now know the functional difference between rat whiskers and the whiskers of cats. My new view of rats? Just spell it backwards!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! They really are remarkable critters.
Fun! Interesting! Mildly horrifying!
LOL! This is a great way to sum it up - thank you.
Suzanne was so knowledgeable and friendly! She had a great amount of information about NYC that even extended beyond the tour! Saw rats even on a rainy day!
Thank you! It was quite the adventure with the weather.
The tour was absolutely perfect our guide had so much knowledge about the surrounding area and we loved every second of it. Plus we got to see a lot of rats! The history about the surrounding area is something we would never have even thought about and we all had a blast!
Thank you so much! I am so happy to hear that you had such a good time! You guys were great!
This garbage tour was a highlight of our four-day visit to NYC! Yes it focuses on rats and garbage (gross) but much of the tour is also devoted to the history of Manhattan and touches on many issues that are relevant today (i.e., immigration, public health, city politics from the 1600s until the present). Suzanne is very knowledgeable and animated when discussing rats and the history of sanitation in NY. This was such a fun, informative, and unique way to spend an afternoon off the beaten path in lower Manhattan. Even my two teenagers who are bored by most things found it interesting, which says something. Highly recommend!!
Thank you so much - I love hearing how much everyone enjoyed it! I am blushing!
So so soooo much fun! Very informative and would 100% recommend : )
Thank you! I love that you had a great time!
This was an awesome tour and great experience! Suzanne was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
