Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for the Gritty NYC True Crime Tour?

A: Yes, the tour is generally recommended for those 16 and older due to the mature content discussed. Eddie does a great job explaining things in a way that's engaging, but some topics might not be suitable for younger audiences. If you have a younger person in mind, I'd recommend checking with Eddie directly to see if it would be a good fit.

Q: Can you reschedule if you can't make your tour date?

A: Yes, you can reschedule your tour if you give Eddie at least 48 hours notice. He’s pretty flexible but just make sure to check the terms when you book. Planning ahead is key since this tour can get popular, especially on weekends!

Q: What should we wear for the tour? Is it outside the whole time?

A: Definitely dress for the weather since part of the tour is in Central Park and you'll be walking. Comfortable shoes are a must! I'd recommend layers too, especially during the fall or spring. Also, be prepared for some city bus travel, so keep your bags light. Fun, casual outfits work best!

Just did the Gritty NYC True Crime Tour – here’s my thoughts!

I just got back from the Gritty NYC True Crime Tour with Eddie, and wow, it was amazing! We explored some seriously wild crime stories from the '80s and '90s. The part in Central Park was super eerie, and Eddie really knows his stuff. The bus ride to Times Square was a nice break too. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves true crime! Just be ready to walk a bit!

Considering the Gritty NYC True Crime Tour as a gift! Thoughts?

I'm thinking about gifting the Gritty NYC True Crime Tour to my best friend for her birthday. She’s obsessed with podcasts and true crime books. Has anyone done this? Is it fun for someone who’s not a native New Yorker? What’s the vibe like?
