What is the High and Lower Manhattan Tour?

The guided trips to New York that we organize are intended to be an experience and that our customers make the most of their time in the city of skyscrapers.

The Alto and Lower Manhattan Tour is done by bus with a local guide (can be hired with guide in Spanish) and lasts about 5 hours.

What will we see on the Tour of Alto and Lower Manhattan?

The most common is to make the journey from the Upper Manhattan area to the Lower Manhattan area. Thus, the tour begins at the height of Central Park. We follow the Museum Mile, an area east of Central Park that brings together almost every prominent museum in New York: the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, the Guggenheim, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Met Breuer, the Natural History Museum, the Frick Collection and the Museum of Modern Art, better known as MoMA.

Then we'll go down Fifth Avenue to Rockefeller Center. Fifth Avenue is the visible reflection of Manhattan's richest and most luxurious face, with historic mansions and opulent apartments. In turn, it is one of the main commercial arteries of the Big Apple and, therefore, where commercial rents have prohibitive prices. Here we can find the stores of luxury brands such as Tiffany, Cartier or Louis Vuitton. The museum mile also runs almost entirely along this Avenue. Rockefeller Center is a building complex in central Manhattan built in the late 1920s by oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller. It currently consists of 19 commercial buildings, as well as multiple shops and theaters, where Radio City Music Hall stands out. In addition, it has great tourist attraction at Christmas by the ice rink and the Christmas tree.

The next thing already belongs to Lower Manhattan and is SOHO, Washington Square Park, Greenwich Village, Chinatown and Little Italy. Ending up in Ground Zero and Wall Street. Washington Square Park is one of South Manhattan's most popular parks, in the park highlights a triumphal arc erected on the occasion of the centenary of George Washington's presidency. As a curiosity, the park rose over an old cemetery so under it it is estimated that about 20,000 people are still buried. Greenwich Village is one of New York's LGBT-friendly neighborhoods. In addition, it has plenty of alternative theaters and jazz clubs and off-Broadway. Its streets also house New York University. Finally, Ground Zero is the area where the Twin Towers were located, sadly destroyed by a terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. In that area there is now the September 11 Monument and Museum, the World Trade Center skyscraper and the September 11 memorial pool.
