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.
Booking
All tours are given exclusively on a private basis so
that you can pick the time and date that best accommodates your schedule. The
tour covers between two-and-a-half and three-and-a-half miles in
approximately four hours (which includes time for public transportation). The
tour costs a flat fee of $160 for groups of 1, 2, or 3 people; it is $40.00
per person if your party is larger than four people. Discounts are available
for student groups.

The Manhattan Sampler
If it is your first time in New York and you'd like to get the lay of
the land then the "Manhattan Sampler" is perfect.
 The tour begins at
the southern tip of the island, where the Native Americans blazed the trail
that would become Broadway and heads uptown.
There are two versions of the tour:
SAMPLER A visits
- Lower Manhattan (which
normally includes The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island [seen from
Battery Park]; the Alexander Hamilton US Custom House; Trinity Church;
The New York Stock Exchange; Federal Hall [where George Washington was
inaugurated]; The World Trade Center)
- Chinatown and Little Italy (which can include
the Brooklyn
Bridge)
and
- Greenwich Village (including Washington Square Park,
"The Row," the memorial arch, and some of the Village’s charming
residential streets)
SAMPLER B visits
- Lower Manhattan (see above)
- Then EITHER Chinatown/Little Italy OR Greenwich
Village (see above)
and finishes in
- Central Park (which may include Strawberry
Fields, Bethesda Terrace, the Mall, the Plaza Hotel, and the Zoo)
·
Please
be aware that in four hours, we generally cannot cover all of the highlights
within each neighborhood
Because
this tour covers more ground and takes more time than our standard
neighborhood tours, it costs a flat fee of $160 for a group of 1, 2, or 3 people or $40 per person if there are more than 4 in your party.
