De ce point de départ historique, nous nous promenons au cœur du centre-ville de Manhattan, explorant des monuments comme Wall Street, Federal Hall et Trinity Church.

Very informative Be able to walk about 3 miles and stand at times Great way for first timers to see the popular spots of lower Manhattan
This was a really enjoyable walking tour covering so much interesting history about Lower Manhattan. Our guide, David, was fantastic. We would highly recommend this.
What a great way to learn about Lower Manhattan. Annebelle is a great guide. Highly recommend. Definitely learned something we did not know. She showed us a couple of cool spots we would have never seen on our own for sure!
This tour was wonderful. It covered the early history of NYC, the financial district, the municipal areas and then Chinatown and Little Italy. Our tour leader Nicky was absolutely fabulous - full of information and no question was too much trouble.
Had an amazing afternoon on the downtown walking tour. Dave was an incredible guide, and we enjoyed our conversations throughout the tour talking about all of the history that downtown and nyc has to share.
This was easily my favourite Walking tour to date. ( I have done quite few) The content was interesting and the Annabel, our guide, was extremely knowledgable and had an ease of passing along all of that information. Gracious and Eloquent from the 1st moment we chatted. Not only was the tour itself great, there was also a lovely follow up email with details about the many stops along our walk. This tour was worth way more than the actual price!!! The quality was top notch from the get go. Do not hesitate to book a tour with Manhattan Walking Tour!
David Turk was our excellent guide. He was kind and considerate, especially to the old people with him. It was definitely worth the $85. We had our own private tour for three whole hours. We learned so much about Lower Manhattan. I would definitely recommend David for tours. We are looking forward to a future tour with David.
We had a wonderful tour of historic downtown NYC. Annabel was very informative and personalized the tour to our interests. It was nice to have such a small group and customized tour. Annabel even followed up with additional information and links to compliment and expand on our discussions during the tour.
We went today on the High Land Park tour with the Greenwich Village food tour. Both the tour and food tasting were great. Our guide, Claire was outstanding, very knowledgeable and quickly picking up on things we were particularly interested in. She really gave the personal touch and flowed up with an email containing other interesting places and facts to follow up on. Loved the intimate size of the Manhattan Walking tours!!! Highly recommended.
We took the Downtown Historic Walking Tour with David and the Greenwich Village food tour with Jonathan. We did the food tour first, on a cold and rainy afternoon. Jonathan was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history he shared with us, which we really appreciated. He was also very personable, and even walked us to the subway, pointing us in the right direction. We enjoyed ourselves, and truly learned a lot! Being a food tour though, we felt that the history took center stage, fine, since we love learning about the history of a place, but that would be my critique. The history didn’t always align or tie in with food, which I guess is fine, just think of it as a history tour, plus yummy food! The next day we did the walking tour with David, in the financial district. This was the highlight of our entire trip! We learned a great deal, and loved how knowledgeable David was! It ended up just the three of us, and he too was personable, knowledgeable and a great story teller! Don’t miss a chance to take a tour with Manhattan Walking tours!! We will definitely recommend to our friends, and reach out to both gentlemen when we return to the fabulous NYC! Thank you for all the great knowledge and memories!!
