German-speaking New York City Tours
If you are looking for a New York tour in German, you have come to the right place! TreffpunktNewYork offers private, German-language New York walks tailored to your personal wishes, as well as themed tours that usually last two hours. The current selection of tours is constantly being expanded.
The most popular themed tours are described here by clicking on the picture. I also offer New York introductory tours in Midtown or Downtown, a Chelsea gallery tour, a Museums Mile tour with entry to the Metropolitan Museum and a two-hour Bushwick graffiti tour. For further information, just send a quick, no-obligation inquiry.
A good place to start is always Central Park. It's not just about the park, but also about the history of New York as such and the people of the city. There are many funny stories and anecdotes to tell about Central Park:
By clicking on the corresponding image, you will find more detailed information on the different topics. These can of course be combined and expanded at any time in a private tour.
New York will celebrate its 400th anniversary in 2025. The following tour tells of the beginnings:
The following Crime Tour is about on the trail of New York's gangs through the former slums. Where the Chinese neighborhood now meets in Columbus Park, New York's most notorious criminal district used to be: Five Points. This is where New York's poorest immigrants could be found and this is also where the organized crime of the American-Italian mafia had its origins.
The Crime Tour can be perfectly combined with the Brooklyn Bridge Tour-Dumbo Tour:
This tour starts on the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge in DUMBO. The former industrial district is now an expensive residential area and offers some of the most beautiful photo opportunities in New York. And what is often forgotten: Brooklyn Heights is also directly adjacent to DUMBO and, in addition to the best view of downtown Manhattan, has its own idyllic small-town character. It is also haunted. We will talk about that too.
If you only have a short amount of time or don't know New York at all, you might want to start by taking a tour from highlight to highlight. It is possible to hike to the most important sights in one day.
We walk from the southern tip of Manhattan (interrupted only by a short subway ride) to Central Park. On the way we pass most of New York's highlights. The route also takes us through 400 years of the city's history. And of course we have enough time to discuss any other questions.
Another highly recommended tour for the curious and those who love to explore is the guided tour through the special Brooklyn.
▶ Graffiti Scity tour
There are highlights as well as unknown corners to discover here. From graffiti to hip Williamsburg on the East River and on to the Jewish Orthodox quarter - this New York city tour has it all.
All New York tours can be combined with other stops and attractions on an individual tour, depending on your preferences. I would be happy to put together a personal tour based on your time and preferences.
Booking a private tour is the best way to explore New York as a guest rather than a tourist. This way, everyone can bring in their own interests, decide on their own time, destinations and pace, and even decide spontaneously to take a detour.
