Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this walking tour? Thinking of gifting it to my kids.

A: There’s no strict age limit! Kids can definitely join, but keep in mind that the tour covers a lot of ground and can last a couple of hours. It's great for older kids who can walk and engage with the history. Just be sure to bring water and some snacks!

Q: What if it rains on the day of the tour? Can we reschedule?

A: Yes, if the weather doesn’t cooperate, you can reschedule! RetroMan Tours usually offers flexible options, so just keep an eye on the forecast and reach out to them directly for the best options.

Q: What should we wear for the walking tour? Any tips?

A: Comfort is key! Wear good walking shoes since you’ll be on your feet for a while. Dress in layers too, as NYC weather can be unpredictable. Also, a hat and sunglasses are great if it’s sunny! You’ll want to enjoy the sights comfortably.

Just booked the 42nd Street walking tour as a surprise gift!

I'm super excited! I recently booked the walking tour of 42nd Street for my partner’s birthday. It’s such a cool way to explore NYC! I love the idea of hearing all the history behind the buildings and the revitalization stories. Plus, it’s free! I hope it’ll be a memorable experience for them!

Anyone else enjoyed the 42nd Street tour? What did you think?

I just did the walking tour of 42nd Street last weekend and it was incredible! Our guide was super knowledgeable and made all the history come alive. We saw some cool buildings and learned about stuff I had no clue about. I’d totally recommend it for anyone looking to explore NYC differently!
