Q&A
A: Yes, kids can definitely join the CharacTour! It's really family-friendly, and the interactive nature keeps everyone engaged. Just keep in mind that the characters might touch on some historical topics, so it’s good for kids who are a bit older—probably ages 8 and up would get the most out of it. Hope that helps!
A: Definitely wear comfy shoes since it involves a fair amount of walking through the Lower East Side! As for clothing, I’d suggest layers—New York weather can be unpredictable. You'll want to be prepared for both sun and a possible chill. There’s no dress code, but you’ll want to be comfortable and able to move around.
A: Absolutely! Cicerone Travel is pretty flexible when it comes to rescheduling. Just make sure to give them a heads-up at least 48 hours in advance. They understand that life happens. It’s a great way to make sure you can still enjoy the experience even if your plans change!

Just did the CharacTour of the Lower East Side and it was awesome!
I went on the CharacTour with a couple of friends last weekend, and wow, it was a blast! The actor was hilarious and really brought the history to life. We met characters like a pushcart vendor from the early 1900s and a speakeasy owner! It’s super interactive, and our guide was fantastic. If you’re considering it as a gift, go for it! It’s perfect for history buffs or anyone who loves a fun experience in NYC.
Thinking about gifting the CharacTour—anyone done it?
I’m looking for a unique gift for my parents and came across this CharacTour experience. They love NYC and history! Has anyone tried it? What was the highlight for you? I want to make sure it’s a good choice before I buy it.
