Where’s my Broadway fans at?
As much as you love Broadway how much do you really know about the origins of it?s history? Have you ever wondered if you could just take a trip back in time and see where it all began?! Now you can!
If you are fans of Lin-Manuel Miranda?s Hamilton or Jonathan Larson?s RENT you will LOVE these tours.
Our Gilbert and Sullivan to Hamilton musical theatre downtown walking tour meets right near City Hall where the first theatre in New York was built. We will then visit other locations that fall in tribute to nautical themed Broadway musicals such as Titanic, Ragtime, Showboat, and of course HAMILTON! We will even pass by where Thomas Jefferson lived and you can take pictures with George Washington (maybe even meet his ghost!) in front of Federal Hall. Come learn about the revolution and sing along to shows with your Broadway tour guide.
And then on April 29th we are launching our ?The Inspiration Of Rent? a tour based off of the musical RENT written by Jonathan Larson. It will begin at The New York Theatre Workshop where the show originally premiered and we will visit iconic locations from his story. We will discuss New York?s East Village history, the show, and of course Jonathan Larson?s life and death. On April 29th it will be the 20th anniversary that the show originally opened on Broadway so tickets will be selling fast!

Have you ever wanted to go BEHIND REAL LIFE CRIME SCENES? ?How about hearing the amazing true stories from a real life NYC detective??Check out NYC Adventure Tours!
“Walk the streets of new York with a real police detective and visit the real life locations of your favorite movies, television shows and crime scenes; see what lies beneath the glamour and glitz of new York?s underworld; the Hangouts, the haunts and the hide-aways of new York city?s most notorious criminals.”

Some Featured Tours:
Law and Order Walking Tour (Cops and Robbers) of Lower Manhattan
Walk the streets of New York City with a real police detective and visit the actual locations of crime scenes from movies, television shows and real life during this two-and-a-half-hour tour. During the fascinating and informative walk, you will see what lies beneath the glamour and glitz of New York?s underworld: the hangouts, the haunts and the hideaways of the Big Apple?s most notorious criminals, both real and fictional. And you?ll hear all the sordid details from a licensed P.I. who?s worked with every level of law enforcement, from the local to the federal.
The Twin Bridges Walking Tour
?Over the great bridge, with sunlight through the girders making a constant flicker upon the moving cars, with the city rising up across the river in white leaps? The city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world.?
– F. Scott Fitzgerald
Now do something completely different: a walk across two of the most iconic bridges in New York, The Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge, all in one 90-minute tour. As incredible as it may sound, you can achieve what most New Yorkers have never done ? a walk across two bridges in one fell swoop.
On the bridges, you view the city from a whole new perspective that will refresh even the most jaded, seen-it-all, New Yorker. Bring your camera to capture sights both iconic and startling: from the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor, to the canyons of Downtown Manhattan and the elegant edifices of the Upper East Side, to the contrast between soaring skyscrapers and seedy tenements.
If you can?t fall in love with this city again after a walk on a great bridge, it might be time to move.
And it?s one of the safest tours in New York! Your tour guide is Ike Ilkiw, retired NYPD Detective, lifelong New Yorker, and founder of NYC Adventure Tours.
Green-Wood Cemetery: Off the Map
Explore the sights of Green-Wood that aren?t listed on the map! See the hidden gems and strange secrets of New York?s foremost Victorian cemetery. With a focus on the scandalous and lesser-known inhabitants of Green-Wood, on this tour you?ll see the final resting places of femmes fatales, revolutionaries, suicides, artists and murderers
From Captain Kidd to the Titanic: Maritime Ghosts of Old New York
Join us as we seek out NYC?s ghostly maritime history! Let us lead you through the West Village and by the Hudson River as we tell tales of spectral sailors, waterfront gangsters, pirates, murderers, poets, and other lost souls. We?ll show you where survivors of the?Titanic?were brought ashore in that cold April of 1912, and share macabre, sorrowful tales of the watery deep as we remember New York?s sometimes glorious, and often sordid, seafaring past.
