HomeFull-Day George Washington Bridge & The Palisades Walking Tour
Description
Visit New York on a full-day tour. Walk across the most heavily trafficked bridge in the world! Learn about it's construction as it was before the 30's as well as it is today. Leave the rushing traffic to enter the peaceful rustle of leaves and trees - and maybe animals, at the Palisades Interstate Park. In the end, listen to the stories from the walk and then take a bus back to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan!
