Our Tour
“Mark Twain’s New York” is a unique 2-hour walking tour, led by writer and Mark Twain expert Peter Salwen. It starts in Lower Manhattan, where Twain published his first book and met his future wife in 1867, and ends with a look at the Greenwich Village homes he occupied in the early 1900s. In between you'll visit over a dozen other places where Mark Twain lived, visited, did business and generally made himself, in his own words, “the most conspicuous person on the planet.”
