Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for the Brooklyn Walking Tours? Can kids join the tour?

A: There's really no strict age limit for these tours! Families with kids often join, and the hosts can tailor the itinerary to make it fun for all ages. Just check with the host about specific interests or any adjustments for younger kids. If you’re looking to keep it interactive for them, let them know.

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? Any specific recommendations?

A: Comfort is key! Wear good walking shoes since you’ll be on your feet a lot. Layered clothing is also a good idea because it can get breezy by the waterfront. And don’t forget a hat or sunglasses if it’s sunny, especially in DUMBO!

Q: Can you reschedule if something comes up? What’s the policy?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! City Unscripted allows you to change your booking if you give them enough notice—typically 48 hours. Just reach out to your host directly, and they’ll work with you to find another time that suits you.

Thinking of gifting a Brooklyn Walking Tour—any thoughts?

I’m considering getting the private walking tour for my sister's birthday. She loves exploring new places, and I heard they really customize it based on what you like. I’m particularly interested in the DUMBO area with views of the Brooklyn Bridge. Has anyone done this? How personal did you find it? Was the host knowledgeable?

Just finished a Brooklyn Walking Tour—WOW!

I just wrapped up a personalized tour yesterday, and it was fantastic! I loved that our host was a local chef, so we got to check out some amazing food spots in Williamsburg. The 4-hour tour felt just right! Anyone else tried this? What did you all think?
