The Dutch actually landed
on Governors Island before they settled at the foot of Manhattan. Now just a short ferry ride from New York
City, the Island was most recently a Coast Guard base but a good part of the Island is now open to
the public. Governors Island is relatively small and its easy to get
around by foot. A tour of the Island will provide the visitor
with beautiful panoramic views of New York City, access to historic forts nearly 200 years old as well as views of the military
presence that existed on the Island in years past. You won't believe you're still in New York City. We'll walk around what is considered the Historic District to observe as much of Governors Island
as we can. This tour will cover about 3 miles and last between 2 1/2 - 3 hours.
