Step by Step

New York is a city of neighbourhoods, each with its own essence and personality. This 5-hour guided tour, led by an expert connoisseur of the city, will take you to discover how tradition, modernity and world cultures coexist in this fascinating metropolis. Here is a step-by-step tour of the tour of contrasts:

1. Harlem: The cradle of African-American culture.

After being picked up by air-conditioned transport from a central Manhattan hotel, the first stop on this tour is Harlem, a neighbourhood where music, art and history mingle. Your guide will take you past the Apollo Theater, the Cotton Club and other cultural gems that defined the Harlem Renaissance. This neighbourhood is a tribute to creativity and resilience, and your guide will regale you with anecdotes that will bring every corner to life.

2. Bronx: Urban art and sporting passion

In the Bronx, your guide will show you the most authentic side of the borough, with its colourful and historic graffiti. You'll learn the stories behind these urban works and visit the legendary Yankee Stadium, where the passion for baseball is in the air. Did you know that this stadium has witnessed some of the most memorable sporting moments in history?

Plus, here you'll also have the opportunity to have your photo taken on the famous Joker stairs. Yes, exactly where the iconic scene from the movie was filmed.

3. Queens: Diversity at its best

Your next stop is Queens, the most multicultural borough in the world. Here, your guide will take you through Malba, an upscale residential area with spectacular views, and to Flushing Meadows Corona Park, famous for its Unisphere and as the venue for the US Open. This is the place where global diversity meets suburban tranquillity.

4. Brooklyn: Art and tradition in perfect balance

Brooklyn is a universe of its own. In Williamsburg, you will feel the vibrant artistic energy and learn the stories of how this neighbourhood grew from an industrial area to a contemporary art landmark. Then, your guide will take you to the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Quarter, where traditions are kept alive and offer a fascinating contrast to the rest of the city.

5. Choose your finale: Dumbo or Little Italy and China Town

At the end of the tour, your guide will offer you two options. You can explore Dumbo and cross the Brooklyn Bridge with spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline. Or continue on to Little Italy and China Town, where your guide will suggest the best places to enjoy a delicious meal, whether it's cannoli in Little Italy or dumplings in China Town.

Discover the true essence of New York with this tour that combines history, art and culture at every stop. Book your place and experience the Big Apple from its roots!

    We ended up very, very tired from all the walking, but it was well worth it because we visited so many places of interest.

    We were recommended to visit Little Italy for its gastronomic variety so we chose this tour that includes that neighbourhood and many others and we were delighted, we recommend it to anyone who wants to visit New York.

    Of all the places we visited, my favourite was the Malba neighbourhood in Queens, where we were able to see houses that were different from the rest because of their European style.
