About This Tour

*Recipient of TripAdvisor / Viator's Badge of Excellence* Join me on a private walking tour of Hoboken, a charming waterfront city only half-a-mile (0,8km) west of Manhattan, across the Hudson River. Look it up on Google Maps! Hoboken is an oft-overlooked gem whose skyline views, riverfront parks, industrial past, immigrant influences, brownstones, cafes, shops and food offer a unique look at local life and history. Accessible from Manhattan via ferry (5-10 mins), train (10-15 mins) or Uber/Lyft. Choose MEET IN HOBOKEN or MANHATTAN when booking. Step away from New York City's tourist crowds — feel like you're visiting a friend — leave with a better understanding of local life! This is a private tour - Only your group will participate Tours are in English - Parlo anche Italiano a livello intermedio Hosted by Greg, who lives in Hoboken and is a licensed New York City tour guide
