Embarking on this journey with a small group of fellow travelers and your local guide, you'll uncover the iconic Manhattan, which you've likely seen countless times in movies and series. The tour includes a tour around Wall Street and the Stock Exchange, a stroll down magnificent avenues, and a gaze up at towering skyscrapers – symbols of Manhattan's financial might. In addition, the tour highlights the historic remnants of the 17th-century Dutch colony interwoven amongst modern buildings, a testament to the area's beginnings as New Amsterdam, purchased from the Algonquins. This area only took on the name New York in 1664, when the colony shifted to British control, and it has held a fundamental military and political role ever since. During the tour, you will also gain insights into the enormous impact of the 9/11 events on the area and city at large.
