Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on the trolley tour?

A: There's no strict age limit for the Manhattan Highlights Trolley Tour, but it's definitely geared toward kids who can walk and engage with the tour. I took my 10-year-old, and he loved it! Just be sure they're comfortable walking a bit at each stop.

Q: How does the rescheduling process work if the weather is bad?

A: If the weather looks bad, you can reschedule your tour by contacting Royal City Tours directly. They’re pretty flexible but it’s best to give them a call as soon as you know. They’ll work with you to find a new date that works.

Q: What should I wear for the trolley tour?

A: Dress comfortably! I’d recommend wearing good walking shoes since you’ll be stopping a lot. Layers are key too, as it can get chilly in the shade but warm in the sun, especially around Central Park. A light jacket is a good idea.

Just did the Manhattan Highlights Trolley Tour – amazing experience!

I took the Manhattan Highlights Guided Trolley Tour last week, and it exceeded my expectations! The guide was so knowledgeable, and I loved hopping off at places like St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the Flatiron Building. The trolley was vintage-style, which added to the charm. My favorite part was definitely walking around SoHo’s cobblestone streets. If you’re thinking about a gift for someone who loves NYC, this is perfect!

Is the Manhattan Trolley Tour a good idea for a surprise gift?

I’m looking for a unique gift for my sister’s birthday who’s never been to NYC. Is this trolley tour a fun way to see the city? I'm worried about how much walking is involved. What do you think?
