Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age for this walking tour? I'm thinking about gifting it to my 12-year-old.

A: There's no strict minimum age for the walking tour, but it's really best suited for teens and adults who can keep pace with the group. For younger kids, if they’re used to walking and can handle the urban environment, it should work fine! Just be mindful of their stamina, as some parts, especially in Flushing, can get quite busy.

Q: What if it rains on the day of the tour? Do they cancel or reschedule?

A: If it rains, they usually don’t cancel unless it's severe weather like thunderstorms. They’ll give you the option to reschedule for another day if you prefer. Just remember to check the forecast as the date approaches and bring an umbrella just in case!

Q: How long is the walking tour? I want to plan our day around it.

A: The tour usually lasts around 3 to 4 hours, depending on how many stops you make and the pace of the group. It starts in Long Island City and ends at Roosevelt Island, so make sure to factor in travel time back to Manhattan if you’re planning other activities afterward!

Thinking of getting the Queens Borough Walking Tour as a gift!

Hey everyone! I'm considering this walking tour in Queens for my friend's birthday. I love that it covers so much—like Flushing's Chinatown and Little India! The views of the Manhattan skyline from Long Island City sound epic too. Has anyone done this tour? I’m just trying to decide if it’s a good fit for her since she’s never been to Queens before.

Anyone experienced the Queens Borough Walking Tour?

I’m really intrigued by this Queens walking tour, especially the part where they visit Spider-Man's childhood home in Forest Hills! Sounds like a cool mix of culture and fun. Just wondering if it gets tiring; I know some tours can be super long. Would love to hear thoughts from anyone who's been!
