We pack a lot into two hours on this NYC walking tour of three of Manhattan’s most fascinating neighborhoods. We’ll start with SoHo, admiring the architecture of the Cast Iron Historic District and maybe even spotting celebrities often seen on its trendy streets.

From there, your guide whisks you off to Italy — Little Italy, that is — where you’ll soak up the sights and smells of this colorful corner of NYC. It’s not all pizza and stromboli here, though. You’ll also see former mob sites and hear all about the infamous mobster John Gotti.

Finally, stroll over to Chinatown, right next door yet a completely different cultural experience. Be dazzled by the variety of Chinese shops and signs on display as you learn about this immigrant community. Our tour ends in the former Five Points, now Columbus Park, infamous in the 19th century as one of the city’s most dangerous areas.

There are stops for tastings along the way, so this multicultural tour of NYC is a flavorful one, too.

It’s just 2-3 miles of walking as your guide helps you navigate the streets of Manhattan so you see the best of Chinatown, Little Italy, and SoHo. Plus, the noon start time keeps your morning and afternoon free for more sightseeing.
