Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for the private tour? I’m thinking about gifting this to my teenage daughter.

A: There’s no strict minimum age for the private tour! It's designed to be adaptable, so you could easily adjust the itinerary based on your daughter’s interests. Just be sure to mention her age when you fill out the questionnaire so they can match you with a guide who's great with younger guests.

Q: Can you change the tour details once you've booked? What if you want to see different places?

A: Absolutely! You can modify the tour details even after booking. Just reach out to the provider, and they'll work with you to adjust the itinerary based on what you want to see or experience. It’s meant to be flexible, so feel free to discuss it with your local guide on the day of the tour too!

Q: What’s the best way to get around during the tour? Do guides suggest public transport?

A: The guides are super helpful with transport! They usually suggest a mix of public transit and walking, which gives you a chance to see the city up close. If you’re not comfortable with the subway, you can request taxi options instead. Just let your guide know your preferences!

Thinking about gifting a private NYC tour - any recommendations?

Hey everyone! I’m considering gifting a custom private tour of NYC for my sister’s birthday. She loves exploring new places but has never been to NYC. I think this could be a perfect way for her to see the city with a local. Has anyone tried it? Would love to hear your thoughts or any tips!

Just did the NYC private tour, and wow!

I just wrapped up my private tour with a local guide last weekend, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences in NYC! We did a mix of touristy spots and hidden gems, and my guide was so knowledgeable. Got to see places I’d never find on my own! Can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to explore the city!
