NYC: Train Trip with Sleepy Hollow and Walkway Over Hudson
Our tour begins in the center of Midtown. From Grand Central we will take Metro North up to Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow. There we will explore this historic area and you will learn about its most famous resident: Washington Irving. Trace the path of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman. We will visit the Old Dutch Burial Ground and Church. After a brief coffee and pastry break, we will take a majestic train ride up to Poughkeepsie where you will be able to experience the new jewel of the river, the Walkway Over the Hudson. We will take a brief elevator ride to the top where you will get incredible views. From there, we will take the train back to the Hudson Highlands where we will visit the charming village of Cold Spring. You will experience views of West Point and the sheer cliffs of Storm King. The tour ends here, but your day need not end- spend the day here or go onto another town!
