Overview

We go inside buildings and through some underground tunnels to discover what’s really behind the curtain of New York City! We'll uncover fascinating stories about the influential figures who have left their mark on NYC and made the USA a world power. Find out how the city was built, who New Yorkers are, and how people live here. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a longtime resident, this tour provides a deep and engaging exploration of one of the world's most iconic neighborhoods - Midtown Manhattan!

Your guide, a seasoned storyteller, welcomes everyone with infectious enthusiasm :) We love storytelling and public speaking, but this is not a history lecture. It will be more like an event where you have fun, interact, meet new people, and learn something new about New York!
