Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the walking tour? I'm planning to take my kids.

A: No specific age limit! Kids are welcome on the tour. Just keep in mind that it’s about 3 hours of walking, so make sure they’re up for it. The guide is great at engaging everyone, so it should be fun for all ages.

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? Is it all outdoors?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since you'll be walking a lot around Manhattan! Dress in layers too, as it can get a bit chilly near the water, especially if you go in the fall. The majority of the tour is outdoors before you head into the museum.

Q: If the weather is bad, can I reschedule the tour?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if the weather is really bad! Just make sure to contact the tour provider at least 24 hours in advance. They’re usually pretty accommodating about it, given it’s outdoor walking.

Thinking about gifting the Whitney Museum Tour for my parents' anniversary!

I’m considering this walking tour and museum combo for my parents who love art and history. The idea of walking past the Charging Bull and enjoying some good local food sounds perfect for them! The museum visit at the end is a nice touch too. Has anyone done this? How was the guide?

Just did the Whitney Museum Tour and it was a blast!

I went on the Manhattan walking tour last weekend and absolutely loved it! The guide pointed out all these cool landmarks, and once we hit the Whitney, the contemporary art was mind-blowing. I highly recommend it, especially if you enjoy both history and art. Just wear comfy shoes because you’ll be walking a lot!
