This is where New York, or more accurately where Nieuw Amsterdam began; this is where the Dutch first established a fur-trading company. This neighborhood, more than any other in New York, offers a stark contrast between the past and the present. From the colonial past to the present-day, from victorious moments to touching tragedy, from architectural innovation to human sagas our Downtown Manhattan Walking Tour takes you on a 400-year journey. Where did George Washington take his first oath of office as president of the United States? How did Wall Street get its name? Where did a Dutch windmill once stand? Who is listed as the first casualty of 9/11? Whose idea was it to build the Erie Canal that resulted in rise of New York City's importance? Get the answers to these questions: Take the Tour; Know More! This 3-hour, guided-walking Tour focuses on the history, art, and architecture of Downtown Manhattan, also called the Financial District/Wall Street - Join me on this adventure!
Here is some of what you will see on your 3-hour, guided walking tour through the city's oldest neighborhood: • City Hall and its park • Federal Hall • New York Stock Exchange, outside only • St. Paul's Chapel • The 9/11 Memorial and related 9/11 sights • The Battery, with sweeping views of New York Harbor • The Federal Reserve Building • Trinity Church and the grave Alexander Hamilton • The 1907 Custom House, and its spectacular sculptural groupings, "The Four Continents" Please keep in mind that all sights are subject to availability. **The only transportation needed is your feet with a good pair of walking shoes. Not only is walking the best exercise, but it is also the best way to see New York like a local **
