Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Trinity Church, Broadway at Wall Street, New York City, NY 10006
Trinity Church
Stop At: Wall Street, New York City, NY 10005
The neighborhoods you visit are much nicer today than they were in the past but has NYC really cleaned up its act? As part of your tour, you’ll visit lower Manhattan, in particular Wall Street and the Financial District, to learn about modern, white collar crime (and the going rate for a get-out-of-jail-free card).
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Little Italy, Mulberry Street, New York City, NY 10013
Irish gangs weren’t the only group to terrorise the Lower East Side however. Throughout the 1900s the Italian mafia kept Little Italy in a choke hold, while the 1970s and 1980s were dominated by Chinese turf wars that were so bloody you’ll hardly believe the stories.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Lower East Side, New York City, NY
On the Lower East Side, you’ll see tenement buildings where Irish immigrants lived in subhuman conditions. The most notorious area here was the ‘Five Points’ - a junction so infamous for its gang crime (rumor has it some even lived in burrows under the streets!) that Charles Dickens came to check it out himself on a trip to NYC, not believing it could live up to its reputation. It did, of course, as your guide will tell you.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Chinatown, Canal Street to Bayard Street, New York City, NY 10013

An excellent way to learn something about New York. An excellent guide, even sings:)) Fascinating insights.Highly recommend it. Vesna Thank you
I loved this walking tour of NYC. I am always a fan of the small group walking tours, and especially the ones that give you a different view of the city. As a frequent traveler, I can highly recommend this tour. The guide is fantastic, and their support staff are also fantastic. We had gotten on the wrong train and were about 15 minutes late, and the support in the office were able to get in touch with the guide so that we could meet up with them. Highly appreciated! If you are looking for a unique way to spend a few hours of your day, with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, then this is the tour for you.
This was probably the best tour that I have done. Ike was full of information about all that we saw and was so good at answering our questions.
The tour was ok, but not as dark side as we expected.
Fantastic tour, very very interesting and fascinating. Extremely helpful guide with plenty of stories and knowledge. Great insight into the criminal history of NYC and was helpful when pointing out 1PP, Supreme Court, FBI Building and 5 points. Definitely do this tour if you like any crime stories.
I was the only one to sign up for this Tour, but they did it anyways and it was great. The tour guide was very interesting and I learned alt from him about NY City. I would highly recommend it
This tour was fun and informative! Our tour guide Dennis was super knowledgeable and had great personal stories not only from being a cop but also from growing up in Little Italy, it was super interesting. I would absolutely recommend this tour!
Although it was a little confusing to follow the tour guides conversation, this tour was nonetheless very informative and interesting. The guide was knowledgeable about what he was talking about and brought emotion into the tour to make it interesting and lively.
