Let’s be clear: this is no polite “point at a landmark and nod” kind of Midtown walking tour. Bill Schulz, longtime journalist and proud troublemaker, drags you through East Midtown’s oldest watering holes, where ghosts linger, celebrities misbehaved, and human bones allegedly decorate the walls. Welcome to the underbelly of Manhattan’s drinking history, served neat.
Look forward to two hours of scandal and stories your high school history teacher definitely skipped. We’re talking about bars with monkeys in the lobby, an oyster shack that accidentally reshaped the city, and speakeasies so real you won’t find them on any run-of-the-mill “things to do in Midtown Manhattan” list.

Bill’s tour of Turtle Bay is highly recommended. He’s full of knowledge, charm, not to mention energy, and has great stories about some of Turtle Bay’s more famous residents, particularly stars of the past.
Even though, it’s my neighborhood, I learned a lot from Bill.
Fun interesting Manhattan Turtle Bay Tour with Bill Schulz
Informative, interesting and fun, A tour around Turtle Bay, an eclectic mix of history, celebrity and quirkiness with some wonderful hidden gems. The walking tour was about a mile, paced well with an extremely knowledgeable historian who lives in the neighbourhood.
I would highly recommend this tour.
Bill Schulz was an engaging and super-fun tour guide!
Loved me the Turtle Bay/Midtown East walking tour guide Bill Schulz gave yesterday! I’ve lived in the neighborhood for a long time, and not only did i learn some totally new, eye-oping factoids, but Bill also delivered a lot of smiles and laughs along the way. I’ll def try a couple of Bowery Boys’ other tours this spring/summer!
As loyal fans of the TV series “The Gilded Age”, we were very excited for the Bowery Boys’ Gilded Age walking tour, and the tour delivered a fun and fact-filled two hours of architecture, history and scandal. Our tour guide Bill was both informative and entertaining – we highly recommend this tour!
The Bowery Boys tour of the New York neighborhood Turtle Bay was very interesting, entertaining and informative. An actual Turtle Bay resident himself, our guide Bill shared insider knowledge of the area. Plus being a professional, he shared great stories gleaned from research. Bill is a terrific storyteller. And funny, too!
It was a great tour, Bill, our guide, did a good job in showing us around and telling stories about the people who lived in the houses that we visited.
Bill was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable
