Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on the NYC Private Walking Tour?

A: There’s really no strict age limit! Kids of all ages are welcome. However, keep in mind there’s quite a bit of walking involved, so it might be a bit much for toddlers. Older kids usually love it, especially the Statue of Liberty part!

Q: Can you reschedule if something comes up?

A: Yes, you can reschedule. Just reach out to the provider at least 48 hours in advance and they’ll help you find another date that works. It’s super flexible which is great for planning!

Q: What should I wear for this tour? Is it mostly indoors or outdoors?

A: Dress comfortably! The tour is mostly outdoors, especially while exploring the Statue of Liberty and on the ferry rides. Wear sneakers and check the weather, since it can get windy on the water. Layering is key too!

Just did the NYC Private Walking Tour and it was AMAZING!

I took the NYC Private Walking Tour last week and wow, it was worth every penny! Our guide was super knowledgeable and made the history come alive. The ferry ride to the Statue of Liberty was a highlight, and I loved the Ellis Island visit too. The 9/11 Museum after was sobering but very well done. If you're thinking about gifting this to someone, do it! Perfect for first-timers!

Thinking about gifting the NYC tour but unsure if it's worth it?

I’m considering getting the NYC Private Walking Tour for my sister's birthday. She’s never been to the city and I want her to see everything. Is it really as good as it sounds? How's the lunch part? Are there good places to eat nearby?
