Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? Is it casual or more formal?

A: You can totally keep it casual for the walking tour! Comfortable sneakers or walking shoes are a must since you'll be on your feet for about 3 hours. Dress according to the weather since you'll be outside, but layers are a good idea. Hoboken can get breezy near the waterfront.

Q: Can you reschedule if something comes up? What's the policy?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just make sure you contact Greg or Viamo Tours ahead of time. They’re pretty flexible and usually give you options to pick a new date that works for you. Just aim to do it at least 48 hours in advance.

Q: Is this tour good for kids? What's the age limit?

A: The tour is great for families! There’s no specific age limit, and kids usually enjoy exploring Hoboken. Just be mindful of their stamina since it’s about three hours of walking. If they’re up for it, they’ll have a blast!

Thinking about gifting the Hoboken walking tour - what do you all think?

Hey everyone! I'm considering giving a private walking tour of Hoboken as a gift for my partner's birthday. We love exploring local history, and the idea of seeing the NYC skyline from the waterfront sounds amazing. Has anyone done this? Any tips or things to look out for?

Anyone else planning to try the Hoboken walking tour soon?

I just booked this private walking tour of Hoboken for next weekend! I'm super excited since I’ve always only seen Hoboken from the ferry. What should I not miss while I’m there? Any recommendations for places to grab a bite afterward?
