What you'll do

Join fellow travelers from around the world to learn all about the Gilded Age and Prohibition Era in three of New York’s most historic bars and speakeasies.   

Hear inspiring storytelling about the political, cultural, and historical impact of Prohibition, which lasted from 1920 – 1933 in the U.S.  

Traditionally, a speakeasy was a secret bar or club that sold liquor illegally. Modern speakeasies are legal and stick to hidden passageways and entrances, and serve innovative cocktails. 

The walking tour will last approximately three hours and focus on bars or speakeasies in the Midtown West Manhattan and Times Square area of New York. 

Members of this tour will get express entry and seating in a reserved area at each venue. Food and drinks are available for purchase. Embrace your inner mixologist! Will you try a New York sour, Old Fashioned, or Long Island iced tea? 

The Speakeasy tour is a fantastic opportunity to meet other travelers. A themed night out in New York is bound to be a highlight of the trip.
