Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this tour? Thinking of gifting it to my niece who's 10.

A: No specific age limit, but younger kids might get bored since there’s quite a bit of walking and history involved. If she's curious and enjoys exploring, it could be a great experience for her. Just be mindful of her energy levels and the duration of the tour!

Q: What happens if it rains? Can we reschedule the tour easily?

A: Yes, if the weather is bad, you can reschedule without any issues. They understand that NYC weather can be unpredictable. Just give them a call ahead of time to arrange a new date! Always good to check the forecast before you go.

Q: What's the best way to get there? Is parking difficult in Midtown?

A: Getting there by subway is probably your best bet! Times Square-42nd Street station is right there. If you’re driving, parking can be a nightmare, especially during the day. There are garages, but they charge a lot! Try to use public transport if you can.

Just booked the Secrets of 42nd Street tour! Any tips?

I’m super excited to take this tour next month! I got it as a gift for my partner who loves history and NYC. I’ve heard the guide is really knowledgeable. Has anyone done this? Any hidden gems we should look out for along the way?

Thinking of gifting the 42nd Street Private Tour!

Hey everyone! I'm considering giving this tour to my parents for their anniversary. They’ve been to NYC a bunch but never done a guided tour. Do you think it's a good idea? They’re in their late 60s and enjoy walking.
