Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? Thinking about gifting it to my 15-year-old nephew.

A: There’s no specific age limit for the tour, but it’s generally more suitable for ages 12 and up due to the walking and historical content. Kids younger than that might find it a bit overwhelming. Just a heads up, they'll need to keep up with the group and be okay with some stairs!

Q: What should I wear for this tour? Is it outdoors or mostly in the subway?

A: The tour is mostly indoors in the subway, but you'll be walking quite a bit and going up and down steps. I'd recommend wearing comfortable shoes and layers! The subway can get a little humid, but some stations can be cooler.

Q: What if it rains? Is the tour still happening?

A: Rain doesn’t affect the tour since it’s primarily in the subway. So, bring an umbrella for getting to the subway entrance, but you’re good to go once you’re inside! Just double-check with Region NYC if there's any severe weather warning.

Thinking about gifting the Hidden Subway Secrets tour!

I just saw this ‘Discover Hidden Subway Secrets Below Manhattan’ tour, and I’m super intrigued! I’m not from NYC but love history and urban exploration. The abandoned City Hall Station sounds amazing! Would it be weird to give this as a present for my friend who's really into local history? Can't wait to hear what you all think!

Anyone done the Hidden Subway Secrets tour? What’s it like?

I’m considering booking the Hidden Subway Secrets tour for my brother’s birthday. The idea of exploring a submerged station is wild! Can anyone share their experience? How did the guide do? Was it worth the time and money?
