Program details

Travel the world without leaving New York on this fascinating walking tour designed especially for German speakers. Find out how this melting pot of ethnic, religious and cultural variety has become home for so many diverse groups, and how their lives have shaped the city’s changing fortunes. This unmissable tour helps to unpick the many tangled threads that make up the New York experience.

Uncover the reality of the immigrant experience then and now as we wander through Chinatown and Little Italy. Then explore the bohemian side of the city when we visit the artist neighbourhood of SoHo and legendary Greenwich Village, birthplace of 60s counterculture.

Discover another New York in the frenetic business life of the Financial District where fortunes are made and lost daily. Tour Wall Street, where the 1929 crash that caused the Great Depression is now a distant memory for the traders hoping to make their millions on the financial markets. Visit neo-Gothic Brooklyn Bridge and the Woolworth Building, one of New York’s first skyscrapers, opened by Woodrow Wilson in 1913. Then head over the road to City Hall, mayoral seat of New York, to learn more about how the city came to be the economic powerhouse of the world. Finally, we’ll head to Battery Park, with its clear views of the Statue of Liberty, to reflect on the symbol of freedom and liberty that unites the nation.
