Explore How New York City Works

Turnstile Tours are built around in-depth research, community engagement, and interactive experiences. We offer both public and private tours that showcase how New York City works, from factories to food systems, the working waterfront to workforce development. With our unique expertise, we deliver high-quality tours that appeal to both locals and first-time visitors. Whether you’re interested in Manhattan’s street vendors, beautiful public parks, Brooklyn’s techies, makers, and manufacturers, or the city’s rich industrial history, we have tours to suit your interests.

Our Partners

Our tours are built around close partnerships with non-profit and community organizations. As a social enterprise and Certified B Corporation, we are committed to helping our partners build capacity to welcome the public and raise money for their vital missions. At least 5% of every ticket purchased goes towards one of these organizations.
