This tour combines popular elements of the ‘New York – A Mosaic of Neighborhoods’ and ‘The Fascination of Lower Manhattan’ tours.
In the first part, we will show you geographically and thematically diverse facets of Manhattan, the heart of New York, including Harlem, then we move to the South Bronx, and Brooklyn.
In the second part, we will explore many of the most interesting and beautiful parts of Lower Manhattan.
On a Manhattan + More tour, you’ll get to know many different facets of our city. Even repeat visitors to New York can experience the Big Apple in a whole new way, because unlike conventional city tours, this tour takes you off the beaten path.
In the neighborhoods, as New Yorkers call the part of town they are living in, you’ll gain insights into this fascinating megacity that will surprise you again and again. You’ll experience very different parts of New York – from the ultra-chic, stylish SoHo to parts of the South Bronx, where the average income is one of the lowest in the entire USA and people struggle to make ends meet. New York City – no other city in the world offers such extreme contrasts.
We spend most of our time in various Manhattan neighborhoods, but the tour also takes us to the South Bronx and Brooklyn. On our tours with ENY, you’ll learn many fascinating things about the most exciting city in the world, and you’ll have plenty of fun along the way. (For example, we show participants where various celebrities live…)
In the first part of the tour, we’ll travel in a comfortable SUV or an iconic stretch limousine through northern Manhattan, visiting areas such as Harlem, before heading to the South Bronx, one of the poorest areas in the USA, and then on to Brooklyn.

On this part of the tour, we cover quite long distances, traveling to parts of the city where this is best and most efficiently done by vehicle. However, we also spend a lot of time alongside New Yorkers „on the streets,“ experiencing the city firsthand.
After a break, we’ll explore Downtown Manhattan, New York’s old city, on foot. Many of New York’s most charming and interesting areas are located in its narrow streets. Most of Downtown was settled before 1811 – the year the city decided to implement the numbered grid system we see today. The streets in Downtown still bear names, rather than numbers. In fact, this district has a very European feel – no wonder, since it was once called New Amsterdam.
Downtown Manhattan – the southern part of the island – is one of the oldest areas in all of America and therefore incredibly fascinating in terms of its architecture and history. Since the 1990s, however, this part of New York has undergone a radical transformation, and it now boasts some of Manhattan’s trendiest and most vibrant neighborhoods. New York is particularly cosmopolitan and quirky-extravagant in this area – Downtown is fun! Here you’ll not only experience New York’s past, but even more so, you’ll catch a glimpse of the trends of the future.
We’ll visit the ultra-chic Meatpacking District and the designer district of SoHo, the artistic neighborhood of Greenwich Village, the old immigrant neighborhood of the Lower East Side, which has undergone tremendous changes in recent years, and the former industrial area of Tribeca, whose old factory buildings now house some of the most expensive real estate in the entire United States.
The tour proceeds at a relaxed pace. No rushing through the streets. We’ll take a break at one of the charming cafés along the way.
