Must do. There are multiple tours, we did Under 1 Roof, will come back for more. Follows families who lived there at different points in time. apartments lovingly preserved authentically from contact with living relatives. Fascinating to see how immigrants lived in the times represented. the tour we did was during Progressive era, middle 29s and 30s. Don't sleep on this. Real taste of early NYC history.

Had the most amazing tour at this Museum which was run by Ben. Unlike any other museum I have been to. You cannot attend without making a private tour which are in small groups. Ben told the stories with such passion and emotion. This will truly be a highlight of my New York trip to hear the stories behind the buildings. Well worth it.

We took a tour group of 50 people from Michigan to this museum. They split us up into groups and I took the 1869 tour which went to the top of the Tenement Museum. I felt that the interpretation was first rate and our guide was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this museum as a way get a sense of how immigrants lived and survived in the late 19th century. The only suggestion I would make for the organization is to stock some t-shirts in their gifts store. They are very book heavy in their wares. Overall however this is an outstanding place to visit.
