Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour?

A: Absolutely! Kids are welcome on this tour. It's a great way to teach them about history and the cool stories behind the Upper West Side. Just make sure they can walk for a bit since we do cover several blocks. Gary's good with kids too, so they won't be bored!

Q: What should we wear for the tour? Is it mostly walking?

A: It's pretty casual! Wear comfy shoes since you'll be walking a good amount. The tour does include some stops to sit and enjoy the history, but overall, you'll be on your feet. Dress for the weather—layers are a good idea in case it gets chilly by the river.

Q: Can we reschedule if something comes up?

A: Yes! Gary is pretty flexible with rescheduling. Just reach out to him at least 24 hours in advance if you need to change your date. He'll work with you to find a new time that fits!
