Il programma nel dettaglio

Enjoy a stroll around Greenwich Village, a truly singular part of New York City. With this walking tour you will see all there is to see and learn all there is to learn about this fascinating hamlet that sets itself apart from the metropolis that surrounds it.

HIGHLIGHTS:

* Explore the history of this curious neighbourhood
* Check out the early settlements and trace the topography of old rivers
* Your tour guide is a knowledgeable urban historian

Greenwich Village is special for a wide variety of reasons, and this tour is the ideal way to find out why. Most of New York City is designed following a grid structure – but not this curious little hamlet that was absorbed by the quickly sprawling city. Even its long time residents have always defined themselves by their very own sense of community, one not necessarily shared by the rest of New Yorkers.

Throughout the three hours of this tour, you will discover the history of this hood, from its Native American roots, going through its Dutch tobacco farms period and the English estates of Green Wich, and all the way to the bohemian birth of Greenwich village. Your charming and eloquent guide will focus on its early history through shortcuts and tangents that crisscross with current times. Set eyes upon the very first settlements and marvel at the sites which decades ago used to be rivers. All in all, the perfect tour for getting to know the Village.
