Visitors will experience the glory of New York City from its founding by the Dutch in 1626, to its role in the American Revolution, to George Washington's poignant address bidding his troops farewell at the end of the war and the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence at the southwest corner of City Hall Park.
View the remarkable architecture of such treasures as the Empire State Building, the Woolworth Building and the Flatiron Building. See Times Square - where New Yorkers lined up to experience America's newest playground. Visit the Five Points, where the forsaken tenements of the 19th century gave birth to the politics of reform and investigative journalism. Relive the salacious scandal of Evelyn Nesbitt, for whom Harry K. Thaw murdered her lover Stanford White and the wild stories of the 20's and NYC's speakeasies.
This 90 minute journey through time is aboard a comfortable and picturesque "trolley bus." The "hop-on hop-off" service makes it possible for visitors to explore the city at over 13 stops through their own pace - and walk historic districts on their own.
