This tour is perfect for suburbanites and commuters who want to explore the rich and fascinating neighborhoods, sites and spaces in between the skyscraper clusters of Midtown and the Financial District.
Options for this tour include beginning (and ending) at either Grand Central or Penn Station, making it easily accessible to all regional rail transit (MetroNorth, LIRR and NJ Transit). All transit within the city is included with the price of the tour--a subway (for arrivals at Grand Central), bus and ferry ride.
This "between-the-skyline" walking tour covers 3.5 miles of Manhattan blocks and stops at dozens of specialty shops and noteworthy sites. Food is not covered in the cost of the tour, though enough time is provided for local shopping and eating.
You'll learn the history of the city as well as the iconic neighborhoods of Chelsea, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Little Italy and Chinatown. A ferry back to Midtown allows a unique perspective to see the path we walked from the water.
