Feel like taking a tour?
All the 32 self guided tours online are available. In New York, listen to the Architects of Ground Zero share their experiences after 9/11, walk along Broadway, follow the Route of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or take one of our historical tours on your own time such as the "Revolutionary NYC" and "Harlem: The Capital of Black America" that focus on a specific era or theme.
In Boston, there are five themed tours highlighting different aspects of the City’s development. On the waterfront, Peter Kuttner from Cambridge Seven talks about the Aquarium, and Tim Love the Harbor Pavilions and Greenway. In Government Center you can listen to Bob Campbell, Peter Vanderwarker, and Larry Chan tell you about it. In San Antonio, Ann McGlone former Preservation Officer walks you along the Riverwalk. Want a narrated tour of public artworks? You’re in luck if you are in Atlanta, Los Angeles, or Albuquerque.
Our offerings are constantly evolving, so expect instant updates with new listings, photos, podcasts, and tour itineraries. If you've ever wondered about that sculpture, mosaic or building you pass everyday on your trip to work, this app gives you a chance to find out more about it.
