Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Warhol Capote tour?

A: There isn’t a strict age limit, but I’d say it's more geared toward adults and older teens since it covers some mature themes related to Warhol and Capote's lives. Kids might not fully appreciate the art and literature context. However, if they’re interested in art or literature, I think they'd still enjoy it!

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour?

A: Comfort is key! Wear good walking shoes since it’s a 2.5-hour tour. NYC streets can be uneven, and you'll want to be comfortable. Dress in layers too; the weather can change while you're walking around. I’d suggest casual chic—something you’d wear to an art gallery!

Q: What if it rains on the day of the tour?

A: If it rains, the tour might still go on unless it’s really severe weather. They usually provide ponchos or suggest rescheduling. I’d recommend checking the weather beforehand and being prepared just in case. Bring an umbrella or a good raincoat!

Just booked the Warhol Capote tour—any tips?

I just booked the Upper East Side Icons tour for next month! I’m really excited to see Warhol's first studio and the Tiffany's location. I love both artists but never did a walking tour in NYC before. Is there anything I should know? Would love any tips on the best places to grab lunch afterwards too!

Amazing experience on the Warhol and Capote tour!

I took the Andy Warhol Truman Capote tour last weekend, and it was fantastic! Our guide was super knowledgeable, and I loved visiting Warhol’s old firehouse studio. The whole vibe of the Upper East Side is just so artsy and classy. Highly recommend it for anyone who appreciates art and literature!
