Flying Dutchmen Guided Tours delivers 400 years of Manhattan history with a side of “histortainment”, i.e., the unholy baby of both history plus entertainment.
Our East Midtown walking tour takes you through Turtle Bay, where celebrity homes, historic landmarks, notorious murders, political intrigue, and some seriously strange stories all share the same few blocks. From the streets once walked by presidents, writers, and movie stars to the buildings tied to mobsters, scandals, and secret schemes, this is a side of Manhattan most visitors never see.
Get ready to dive head first into giggles with a guide who has spent decades reporting on the city’s secrets.

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.
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
Our Tour was title Turtle Bay: 400 years of East Midtown Oddness.
I lived in this neighborhood near the UN for several years, but guide Bill Schulz lead a fascinating tour that covered movies, the mafia, financial scams, iconic American authors, and a secret garden open to the public. The one mile tour zipped by.
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.
One of the best tours I’ve ever taken! Bill was so knowledgeable, and the tour group size was just right. We loved every minute of our two hours exploring this part of Manhattan.
I would encourage any family interested in the history of New York to take this tour. Our tour guide, Bill Shulz, was informative and quite animated and told wonderful anecdotes. Despite the snow we found this and affordable way to spend two great hours walking the streets with a local.
We apologize in advance for your host’s previous videos that illustrate his terrible taste in clothing/tour acumen.
