FAQ

Our walking tours are designed to be self-guided experiences. We believe that exploring at your own pace allows you to truly immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and flavors of New York City. When you embark on one of our walking tours, we provide you with detailed maps and information that highlight the must-see stops along the way. You’ll have the freedom to wander off the beaten path, linger at your favorite spots, and discover hidden gems.

The walking tours vary in length, but most take around 1 to 4 hours to complete, depending on your pace and how long you spend at each stop. We recommend budgeting additional time for breaks, exploring points of interest, going off the beaten path, and enjoying the sights and sounds of New York City.

You can use an eSIM from Airola to access the internet during the walking tours.

Getting around New York City and between our walking tours is easy thanks to the city’s efficient transportation options. Here’s how you can travel between the tours using different modes of transportation:

  • New York City Subway: the most convenient way to travel between neighborhoods. No more need to buy a Metro-card as you can tap your contactless card or smart device at the OMNY reader located at all the subway stations. As an additional bonus you ride for free after the twelfth tap within one week! Confused by the subyway map? Use Google Maps to plan your route in detail and receive real time updates.
  • NYC Ferry: offers scenic rides across the city’s waterways. You can purchase tickets through the NYC Ferry app. Download the app, create an account, and select your desired route and ticket type. Follow the prompts to complete your purchase.
  • Taxis: Uber and yellow cabs are readily available in New York City. For Uber, download the Uber app, create an account, and request a ride. For yellow cabs, use the Curb app to hail and pay for a taxi ride. Both apps provide real-time tracking of your ride and allow for cashless payments.
