Fun walking tour to learn Lower Manhattan history

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a fantastic time with our licensed tour guide, Meghan Sara, during Secrets & History of Lower Manhattan Walking Tour. Meghan was a very knowledgeable and passionate storyteller, and 3 hours went by so quickly! I definitely learned quite few new historical facts related to different spots of the Lower Manhattan. I highly recommend the tour with Meghan and definitely would love to join another one of her tours!

Reliable, knowledgeable...

Super fun tour of lower Manhattan with Meghan! She had tons of stories and info, kept at our pace which was nice because of our 7yr old, and was overall a great tour guide! Highly recommend this tour and Meghan!

A must do!

Published on Oct, 2024

If you have the opportunity, grab this tour! We had a fabulous time wandering around lower Manhattan with Meghan. She was a walking encyclopedia of New York history. Pleasant, professional, energetic and overly considerate of our needs, making sure we made the most of our time together. We loved the New York playlist the tour company sent us ahead of time so thoughtful!
