Fun Tour
What a tour to learn about the Dutch influence on America. From their early beginnings to when the British kicked them out, as history is written by the winners. But, Dutch influence is everywhere. Our guide, Mickey, was so knowledgeable of their history and gave us some ideas and answers we were looking for. My wife is of Dutch decent and can trace her lineage back to New Amsterdam and Albany/Fort Orange. Mickey was able to mix in some American Revolutionary and British history. Definitely would recommend this tour and Mickey. Will request when we bring back family. 5-star, thanks.
We were looking forward...
We were looking forward to our tour about the Dutch influence on New Amsterdam which became New York due to the British, as history is written by the winners. Our guide, Mickey, was knowledgable, kind, patient and a great tour guide. We would definitely ask for her again when we come back with family She mixed in some American Revolutionary along with British history in our tour, but mainly was focused on the Dutch influence. We got new information as my wife's genealogy dates back to the Dutch of New Amsterdam and also Albany/Fort Orange. 5-star experience. Thank you,.
Much better than a generic tour
Deeper dig into the history of the foundation of Manhattan. The tour and the guide was lovely, definitely recommend it if you are looking for something a little extra in terms of knowledge and content. Still remains well explained and accessible for all.
Fun and educational
Mickey was our guide, and gave a personalized, very knowledgeable and thorough tour of the old Dutch area of town. We definitely would recommend
Nice tour!
Fun tour in which you really encounter history. Richard gave a good explanation and we had the perfect pace. Definitely recommended if you want to see the tip of Manhattan through historic glasses!
