Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this Christmas tour? Can kids join?

A: There’s no strict age limit for the tour, so kids are definitely welcome! It’s a fantastic experience for families, especially with the ice-skating and hot chocolate stops. Just keep in mind the tour is walking-based, so toddlers in strollers might need a break. You might want to check with the provider if you have a particularly large group with little ones.

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather’s bad? What if it snows?

A: Yes, if the weather isn’t cooperating, you can reschedule your tour! The provider is pretty flexible with changes, especially if it’s snowing or really cold. Just make sure to reach out ASAP to find a new date that works for you. They want everyone to stay safe and have fun!

Q: What should I wear for this tour? Is it going to be cold?

A: Definitely dress warmly! It can get super chilly in Manhattan during Christmas, especially when you’re walking around outside. Layering is key—think comfy sweaters, a good coat, gloves, and a hat. You’ll be doing a fair bit of walking, so wear comfy shoes too. You want to enjoy that hot chocolate, not freeze your toes off!

Thinking of gifting the NYC Christmas tour! Worth it?

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting my partner the NYC Manhattan Private Custom Christmas Tour with a Local Guide. It sounds magical, especially with the hot chocolate and the tree at Rockefeller Center. Anyone done this before? Was the guide knowledgeable? I want it to be special, and I’m just a bit nervous about the price since it’s not cheap! I’m hoping it’s worth it.

What’s the best time to book the Christmas tour?

Hey folks! I’m looking to book the NYC Christmas tour for the first week of December but can’t decide on the best timing. Is it super crowded then? Should I consider a different time or day? Any tips for a first-timer?
