The heartbeat of the USA
It can sometimes seem like all roads lead back to New York in the USA. Sure, it hasn’t been the capital in over 200 years, but that doesn’t stop it from being the USA’s capital of culture, business and sometimes even politics. This downtown walking tour will show you some of New York’s major landmarks that have been most crucial to USA’s modern life and past history, including Battery Park (with views to the Statue of Liberty), the Trump Building at Wall Street, the Museum of the American Indian and much more!
A true world city
Much more than one of the USA’s main cities though, New York City is truly a world city, and is firmly placed on the bucket list of people across the globe. As you stroll over Broadway, stop at the world-famous New York Stock Exchange, and finish the tour at the 9/11 Memorial, you will be standing in the center of world culture, business and history.
Free Tour concept
The tips-based model of the Free Tour allows guests to support and reward only the highest quality tours, and to ensure that the tour fits within their expectations, and within their budget.
Our business is connecting great guides and smart travelers, and we're proud that so many local guides employ us to welcome travelers like you on their journey through some of the world's best cities. No two tours are alike, and the sites, stories, and length of the tour will vary depending on what your freelance guide decides is best. That's why the tours we promote never get stale or feel scripted, and why both independent guides and savvy travelers prefer SANDEMANs

Must-Do in NYC
I am a big proponent of Free Walking Tours in a new city, as they give you a depth of knowledge you wouldn't find elsewhere and many tips/tricks for your stay. The free tourstend to be of much higher quality than the traditional large group, pre-pay tours. NYC was no different. Jordan W. was our guide and from the very beginning he pulled us in with his detailed story-telling, which brought the tour to life. The 2-3 hour tour felt like 20 minutes because we were so interested in what he was saying. I cannot say enough positive things about Jordan and this tour company in NYC. It's a must-do!! :)
We have had a great time during the walking tour in Financial District. A lot to know about the history of NYC. Very interesting a funny! I really recommend taking this free tour to enjoy a little more this part of NYC. We thanks to our guide Caetano, who knows a lot of things, was very funny and make us have a wonderful time.
Jordan did a great job. Although I am a native New Yorker who goes into Manhattan many time a year we never fully explored lower Manhattan. The area and the tour were fascinating. It was well paced with a 10 minute break 2/3s through. We saw a lot and learned a lot . A perfect combination. Highly recommended
We took free lower Manhattan walking tour. It was a great tour. Our tour guide Zev was amazing, he made this tour very interesting, filled with lots of information and great stories. Zev is such great story teller and so enthusiastic that our two boys never said that they are tired or bored.
Zev clearly loves New York City where he was raised... his enthusiasm for its history, architecture and residents is obvious in his tours. I learned more about lower manhattan on Zev's tour than I knew from living in the area for years. Great tour.
Super good (free) tour hosted by Zev who was totally professional; knowledgeable and friendly. Tour commenced near Battery Park and went through Wall Street and Broadway to the 9/11 Memorial site. You simply tip whatever you think the tour is worth! And don't be mean!!
Our guide, Ryan, was entertaining, energetic, and informative from beginning to end. A truly special 3 hours learning about lower Manhattan in a way that combines touring with theater. What more can you ask? Highly recommend.
The Free Tour is the best introduction to New York! A general overview tour including many of the highlights of the city, the Free Tour usually lasts around 2.5 hours and is provided by a local freelance guide in partnership with SANDEMANs NEW Europe, so tour content can vary depending on your guide’s particular area of interest and expertise.
The Free Tour is a walking tour with no need for public transport and is designed for independent travellers, not groups. You can book your spot in advance online or simply show up at the start point on the day. There is no payment necessary at the start of the tour but you are welcome to tip your guide at the end!
We believe in supporting local communities and are committed to giving a voice to some of London's best local freelance tour guides, who passionately share the city's history and culture with their own unique and always-entertaining style. They'll never pressure you to tip; we believe that, if money is given, it should be voluntary and in direct proportion to the quality of the tour and the budget of the traveller.
