Top Albany Historical Tours

Cruise the mighty Hudson River aboard the ‘Dutch Apple II’ on this 90-minute Albany, N.Y., sightseeing tour. Listen closely as a Hudson River expert talks about the history of the region and the river, including the evolution of industries. Explore the boat itself, crafted from the popular Hudson River Dayliners of yesteryear, and enjoy the view outside as barges, freighters and tugboats pass by. Bring a camera and/or binoculars to capture the eagles and other wildlife that occupy the region. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase.

While walking tours help get oriented, they rely on guides and discourage independent exploration. With this bar-crawl-themed scavenger hunt, explore Albany at your own pace while visiting hidden gems, top landmarks, and some of Albany’s most popular bars. Work with your team (or compete against them), answering trivia questions and solving game-like challenges.
