Tour Description

Explore where New York began and see what is left of Dutch New Amsterdam in today's lower Manhattan!

In this small group walking tour, you'll hear about New York’s founding myths and facts while standing in the very spots where they all happened. With New York City's first map in hand you will trace the streets of Manhattan in 1667 while discovering the many hidden Dutch relics south of Wall Street. Physically touch history as you spend time finding out how Bowling Green got its name and why it’s been so important in our city’s history!
