FAQs
Is this tour on a bus or car?
No way! To have an authentic, immersive experience of New York City, we travel like New Yorkers. We would never recommend our family or friends take a car or bus to see NYC. You don’t want to spend your trip caught in traffic. We’ll travel by foot, subway, public bus, and ferry, so we can see more and do more.
Will the whole tour be on foot?
The majority of the day will be on foot since this is a walking tour. However, at some points in the tour you will travel by public bus, subway, and ferry. This tour includes several miles of walking at a moderate pace. If mobility is an issue, please arrange for a private tour.
What is the One World Observatory?
The Observatory at the One World Trade Center Tower (also known as Freedom Tower) is a panoramic observation deck and a marvel of engineering and architecture. The program begins in the lobby with "Voices," a film dedicated to the men and women of the World Trade Towers and the new One World Trade Center. You will then take the Sky Pod elevator up 1,250 feet, first to the 102nd floor with the See Forever Theater and then to the 100th floor for the observation deck. The One World Observatory includes LED displays, touch-screen videos, dining, and views across Manhattan.
What do we do about lunch?
There will be a stop for you to purchase lunch. Depending on the guide, options include the Dining Concourse at Grand Central Terminal, Stone Street in the Financial District, or the new Eataly in Downtown. There are options for most dietary restrictions.
Does the tour include the 9/11 Museum or the Statue of Liberty?
Due to time restraints, we won’t visit the 9/11 Museum or Liberty Island. The tour does visit the 911 Memorial and World Trade Center sites where your guide will share the history and stories of 9/11. We will also take the Staten Island Ferry to get a closer look at Lady Liberty and enjoy views of the skyline and Brooklyn Bridge.
What is the cancellation and refund policy?
We understand plans change. We offer a 100% refund up to 24 hours prior to your tour start time for this tour. We also offer rescheduling to another date the tour is running at no extra cost if you’re unable to make this tour. Please keep in mind there are no refunds available if you have already rescheduled your tour.
What is the policy on gratuities?
Tips are always appreciated by our guides but never expected. They should be given if you believe your guide did an outstanding job and if you personally want to demonstrate your appreciation to the guide.
