Q&A

Q: What happens if it rains? Do they still do the boat part of the tour?

A: Yes, the tour still goes on if it rains! The boat portion is covered, so you won't get soaked. Just be sure to dress for the weather since the rest of the tour involves walking. They recommend bringing a light jacket and umbrella, just in case. If the weather is really bad, they might adjust the itinerary.

Q: Is this tour suitable for young kids? What age do you recommend?

A: Absolutely! Kids are welcome on this tour, and many families enjoy it. The Edge NYC has a minimum height requirement for safety, but as long as they meet that, they'll love the views. Just keep in mind that a lot of walking is involved, so make sure they can handle it. The guide is great with kids too!

Q: How do I handle parking in NYC for this tour?

A: Parking in NYC can be tricky, so I recommend taking public transport if possible. If you do need to drive, look for garages nearby the starting point of the tour. Some allow for early reservations, which saves time. Just expect to pay around $25-50 for the day. But honestly, the subway is way easier!

Just did the NYC VIP Tour and it was amazing!

I just got back from the NYC VIP Tour and wow, what a day! We got to skip the lines at the Empire State Building, which was a huge plus. The views from Edge NYC were breathtaking, and the walking tour around the 9/11 Memorial Pools was super emotional but beautifully done. Our guide really knew their stuff. I’d totally recommend this to anyone visiting NYC!

Thinking of gifting the NYC VIP Tour, any advice?

I’m planning to buy the NYC VIP Tour experience for my parents’ anniversary. They love exploring new places but are a bit older. I’m worried about the walking part. Any tips on modifications or if there’s a way to make it easier for them?
