Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the walking tour part of this experience?

A: There isn't a strict age limit for the walking tour, but I'd say it's best suited for ages 10 and up since some parts involve quite a bit of walking. Younger kids are welcome, but you might want to consider how much they can handle! Also, the tour does cover a lot of urban sights that can be overwhelming for younger children.

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? Is there a lot of walking involved?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes! You'll be doing a fair bit of walking, probably around 2-3 miles. Dress in layers since NYC weather can change quickly. If it gets chilly, a light jacket is a good idea. The tour goes rain or shine, so you might want to check the forecast and bring an umbrella if needed.

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

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just make sure to do it at least 48 hours in advance. They are pretty flexible, but it's best to check their official policy when you book. It's always good to have a backup plan in case something unexpected comes up.

Thinking about gifting this Midtown walking tour to my parents. They’ve never been to NYC and I think they’d love the history and the sights! What do you all think? Is it worth it?
