Designed for international visitors — and those interested in testing their foreign-language skills — this fascinating tour of Manhattan is offered in German, French, Italian and Spanish. See the sights, learn some history and enjoy the ride.
New York may no longer be the immigration hub of the country that it was in centuries gone by, but it is definitely among the most international of American cities, and no other city on earth can offer the kind of “melting pot” feel one gets from walking down the streets of Manhattan. As such, it is only appropriate that there be a top-notch tour of New York’s main attractions in an array of languages, designed for our international visitors!
CitySights goes above and beyond its already-amazing offering of specialty tours of New York, bringing you the Multilingual Upper and Lower Manhattan Tour! Choose a tour in a language that makes you feel most at home, or perhaps you’re interested in challenging yourself with a test of your listening ability in a second language! CitySights offers tours in German, French, Italian, and Spanish.
