Following on the footsteps of the award winning THE RIDE - a 75-minute ground breaking theatrical tour experience that comes to life in the heart of Times Square - the company launched THE DOWNTOWN EXPERIENCE Powered By THE RIDE earlier this year.  Tickets are now available to buy pre-departure in the UK through Travel Republic www.travelrepublic.co.uk/Attractions from £31 for Adults and Children.

This is a brand new multimedia historical adventure exploring Downtown Manhattan's most notable landmarks and neighbourhoods which will be enhanced with the magic of Timelooper virtual reality app, allowing visitors to travel back in time and relive iconic moments in history.  The tour will begin at 200 Water Street overlooking the New York Harbour and will explore the Seaport and lower Manhattan, the very blocks where rough and tumble New York roared to life, struggled to be born into freedom and through freedom's challenges evolved to what it is today.

 What to expect on THE DOWNTOWN EXPERIENCE:

• 90-minute multimedia historic adventure of Downtown Manhattan
• Fun, original and informative music and videos that support our Storyteller's deeply researched historical narrative
