A: This tour is designed for anyone interested in history, so kids can definitely join! Just keep in mind that the tour involves quite a bit of walking and historical content, so younger kids may need some help keeping up or might not find it as engaging.

A: Since this is a self-guided audio tour, you can technically do it whenever you want! If you don’t feel like braving the rain, just wait for a sunny day. There's no expiration on the tour access, so you can pick a day that suits you best.

Q: What should I wear for this audio tour? Is there a lot of walking?

A: You’ll definitely want to wear comfy shoes since it’s a fair amount of walking, especially around the Financial District! Dress for the weather, and if it’s warm, a hat and sunscreen would be smart. Layers are great, too, if you’re going early or later in the day when it could be cooler.
