Many famous films in history – from Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver to David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis have been set in cars around New York City. But don’t let this fool you: absolutely the best way to enjoy the city is on foot, with a free walking tour from a local guide who can breathe life into the incredible history of the city. Finding a decent free tour in New York can be a challenge, with so many to choose from and so much to cover. We recommend you check out Free Tours by Foot’s free walking tour of New York for a decent tour of the city.
New York is a city of neighbourhoods, so instead of stressing out about trying to fit everything in the city into a single tour, we recommend you choose a free walking tour within a specific place. Promising to “show you what the Big Apple is made of”, Free Tours By Foot’s most popular free walking tour – and the one that gives you the best indication of what the city is like – is probably around SoHo, little Italy, and Chinatown.
