  Discover a former gilded age estate high in the heights of Manhattan with Isle Of New York Tours’ Fort Tryon Park walking tour. Begin your journey as an elevator whisks you 140 feet up through solid bedrock. Ascend to 250 feet above the Hudson River valley for stunning views of a Catholic convent, the Hall of Fame, and the Tappan Zee Bridge. One can see up to 20 miles to the north and east, because this is the highest natural point in Manhattan!

  This gilded-age tycoon’s estate in 1900 was transformed by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. into a public 67-acre park. Explore a 1776 Revolutionary War battle site, and a memorial to the first woman who fought for the USA. View the medieval-style Cloisters museum while navigating the park.

  This is Manhattan's highest natural point. If the sky is clear, you'll see the Tappan Zee Bridge, 12 miles upriver. Plus the Throggs Neck, Whitestone, Broadway, University Heights, and George Washington bridges.

  Please make sure your footwear is broken in for urban trekking. Being able to navigate steady inclines at a moderate pace will ensure we hit every vantage point on the map.

  Due to its many staircases, this tour is not handicap accessible.

  Au XIXe siècle, New York ne s'est pas contentée de grandir : elle a explosé. Se développant à un rythme tel que sa population doublait presque chaque décennie, la ville a entamé une inexorable marche vers le nord. Cette transformation a métamorphosé Manhattan, passant d'une petite ville portuaire blottie à la pointe sud de l'île à une métropole de rang mondial, désormais dirigée par une nouvelle élite financière. La révolution industrielle a donné naissance au « Gilded Age » (l'Âge d'or), aux idéaux matérialistes modernes du « Rêve américain » et aux rivalités entre la « vieille » et la « nouvelle » fortune. (Si vous pensez à la série HBO, vous avez vu juste !).

  Des tout premiers appartements de luxe de style « français » aux somptueux châteaux de marbre rivalisant avec les résidences de la royauté européenne, nous explorerons la manière dont la conception de Central Park a transformé le paysage urbain de New York ainsi que l'habitat de ses résidents.

  La visite débutera à Columbus Circle ; nous emprunterons ensuite le métro pour un court trajet à bord de la ligne 1 jusqu'à la 72e Rue. Le parcours se poursuivra à pied le long de la 72e Rue, traversera le parc pour ressortir à l'angle de la 69e Rue et de la 5e Avenue — à proximité de la Frick Collection — et s'achèvera plus haut sur la 5e Avenue, au niveau de la 79e Rue, juste en contrebas du Met.
