3 timmars rundvandring på nedre Manhattan
Beskrivning
Vårt äventyr börjar på Bowling Green, där berättelserna om både New York City och nationen tar form. Från denna historiska utgångspunkt går vi genom hjärtat av Manhattan och utforskar landmärken som Wall Street, Federal Hall och Trinity Church. Vi fortsätter till World Trade Center-komplexet, pausar för att ta in dess mäktiga historia, innan vi passerar St Paul's Chapel och den skyhöga Woolworth Building. Därifrån kliver vi in i lugnet i Stadshusparken, ett grönområde omgivet av århundraden av medborgarhistoria. Turen skiftar sedan till de pulserande gatorna i Chinatown och Little Italy, där invandringsvågor formade kulturen, maten och stadsdelarna som definierar Lower Manhattan idag. Längs vägen ger våra Experter området liv med berättelser om kraft, motståndskraft och transformation. Följ med på en rundvandring som avslöjar de lager av historia, kultur och arkitektur som gör Downtown Manhattan olikt någon annanstans i staden.

Bowling Green Park, som ligger i hjärtat av Lower Manhattan, har utmärkelsen att vara New York Citys äldsta offentliga park. Detta historiska grönområde grundades 1733 och har bevittnat århundraden av omvandling och spelat en betydande roll i stadens historia. Ursprungligen en bowlingbana - därav namnet - parken fungerade senare som en boskapsmarknad och en militär paradplats under det amerikanska revolutionskriget.
Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House, som ligger intill Bowling Green Park på Lower Manhattan, är ett historiskt arkitektoniskt mästerverk som fungerar som en framträdande symbol för New Yorks maritima arv och ekonomiska betydelse.
Wall Street, som ligger i finansdistriktet på Lower Manhattan, är känt som epicentrum för amerikansk finans och handel. Dess historia går tillbaka till 1600-talet när den fungerade som den norra gränsen för den holländska bosättningen New Amsterdam.
Trinity Church, som ligger i den västra änden av Wall Street på Lower Manhattan, är ett historiskt landmärke som har en framträdande plats i både den religiösa och arkitektoniska historien i New York City. Trinity Church grundades 1697 och är en av de äldsta församlingarna i USA och har spelat en betydande roll i utvecklingen av staden.
World Trade Center Memorial Fountains, även känd som National September 11 Memorial & Museum, står som en gripande hyllning till de liv som gick förlorade under de tragiska händelserna den 11 september 2001. Beläget på Lower Manhattan, på platsen för den tidigare World Trade Centre Twin Towers, minnesmärket har två massiva reflekterande pooler som ligger inom fotspåren från de ursprungliga tornen.
African Burial Ground National Monument i New York City är en betydande historisk plats som hedrar minnet av förslavade och fria afrikaner som begravdes på Lower Manhattan under 1600- och 1700-talen.
Utforska den pulserande väven av kultur och tradition i Chinatown, inbäddat i hjärtat av Lower Manhattan. Slingra dig genom livliga gator fyllda med färgglada skyltfönster, aromatiska restauranger och livliga marknader som erbjuder en rad exotiska varor och autentisk mat.
Kliv in i det historiska området Little Italy, ett bevis på invandrarupplevelsen i New York City. Vandra genom dess charmiga gator, där generationer av italienska invandrare har satt sina spår.

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!!
