We are pleased to offer a selection of our walking tours as virtual experiences. Our educator-guides will lead you on a virtual tour of New York and Brooklyn neighborhoods as well as the City of Hudson!
Our Virtual Adventures are live, interactive, narrations of our walking tours. Using historic and contemporary images as well as documents and discussion, our educator-guides will lead you through the neighborhood as we would on one of our in-person walking tours.
Virtual Adventures are available for private bookings only.
Running approximately one hour, Virtual Adventures are presented through Zoom and can be enjoyed from anywhere in the world. Each participant will receive an email with the secure Zoom meeting number and password before the Adventure.
