Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour?

A: There's no strict age limit! Kids 12 and up would really enjoy it, and they can grasp the history better. The tour does involve a bit of walking and stairs, so just keep that in mind for younger kids. If you're bringing younger kids, you might want to consider how much they'll be able to keep up.

Q: What should we wear for this subway tour?

A: I'd suggest wearing comfy shoes since you'll be doing a fair amount of walking and navigating stairs. Dress in layers; subway stations can be a bit chilly, especially underground. Also, check the weather since some parts of the tour might be outdoors!

Q: What if it rains? Will the tour still happen?

A: Unless there are severe weather warnings, the tour will usually run as planned. Most of it is indoors, but you'll be outside on the Manhattan Bridge, so if rain is in the forecast, just bring an umbrella or raincoat!
