Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this NYC in a Day tour? My kids are 10 and 12 and I want to take them!

A: There's no official age limit, but kids that age usually do great on the tour! It involves a good bit of walking and some subway rides, so be sure they're comfortable with that. The tour is designed for small groups, so it should be a fun experience for them. Just check with the guide if you're unsure, they're super helpful!

Q: How much walking is involved in the NYC in a Day tour? I'm not in great shape.

A: You can expect quite a bit of walking, but the pace is manageable and the guide keeps it fun! There are breaks, and you'll use the subway and ferry, which helps break up the walking. Just wear comfy shoes and you should be fine. They keep the groups small, so you can always let the guide know if you're struggling.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad? Can we reschedule the tour?

A: If the weather looks really bad, the tour provider is usually pretty flexible about rescheduling. Just reach out to them directly as soon as you know there's a problem. They’ll help you find a new date. But if it’s just a little rain, they tend to go ahead with the tour since most of it is still accessible. Just check the forecast!

Just did the NYC in a Day tour and wow!

I just got back from the NYC in a Day tour and it was amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable and took us everywhere from Times Square to Liberty Island. The Staten Island ferry is a must for those views! I also opted for the One World Observatory upgrade—totally worth it for the skyline views! Just make sure to wear comfortable shoes because there’s a lot of walking involved.

Thinking about gifting the NYC tour, any advice?

I’m considering giving this NYC in a Day tour to my sister who’s never been to NYC! I think she’d love it, but I’m worried about her comfort with all the walking. How long is the tour, and is it really worth it? Any tips?
