Start your tour in the Civic Center, home to some of New York City’s most iconic and historic government buildings. You’ll see the elegant New York City Hall, which dates back to 1812 and remains one of the oldest city halls in the country still in use. See the Manhattan Municipal Building, an architectural gem symbolizing New York’s ambition and growth. Your guide will bring this area to life with stories of political drama, city planning, and the legal landmarks that shaped NYC.

Stop 2 · 25m
Get ready for one of the most unforgettable walks in the world — across the Brooklyn Bridge's famous wooden boardwalk.

Once across the bridge, you’ll arrive in DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), one of Brooklyn’s most vibrant and photogenic neighborhoods.

Travel back in time to when the Fulton Ferry was the only way to cross between Brooklyn and Manhattan.
