About Our Tours

All tours are led by Michelle or James Nevius and feature a mix of stops that highlight the history, architecture, and cultural development of the neighborhood. We are both historians who believe that the best way to experience New York City is up close and on foot.

We provide private walking tours every day of the week for groups of all sizes. Most tours cover between a mile-a-half and two-and-a-half miles in approximately two hours. Two-hour private tours cost a flat fee of $80 for groups of 1, 2, or 3 people; it is $20.00 per person if your party is four or more people. Discounts are available for student groups and parties of more than 10 people. (3- and 4-hour tours cost more; please see the individual tour descriptions.)

Join James Nevius, co-author of Inside the Apple: A Streetwise History of New York City, on Sunday, October 9, at 3:30 PM, for a walk celebrating Columbus Day and the importance of Italian-Americans in New York’s history. There’s no better place to do that than Central Park, which has some remarkable connections to Italian history. We will talk about the four (that’s right four) different Columbus memorials once slated for Central Park, visit the bust of Giuseppe Mazzini, explore the history of the Mall and Terrace, and more. (We’ll also be looking at things in Central Park that have nothing to do with Columbus.)

 

Copies of Inside the Apple will be available for purchase at the tour.
