About this tour

Discover a lesser-known side of Manhattan on a New York Cold War spies walking tour through the swanky Upper East Side. This neighborhood was more than a backdrop to city life: it became a stage for Cold War figures whose stories have largely faded from view.

Join a guide for a 120-minute exploration of the area, with a visual aid presentation to bring the stories into focus. Meet across from 800 5th Ave, on the Central Park side of the intersection of 5th Ave and E. 61st St. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and nearby public transportation makes reaching the meeting point convenient.

Follow the traces of forgotten actors in the Cold War and see familiar streets through a new lens. Book your New York Cold War spies walking tour to uncover the history tucked into this elegant neighborhood.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
