Our tours operate rain or shine, as New York’s weather can be quite unpredictable. We encourage all our guests to check the forecast beforehand and to dress appropriately with comfortable shoes and perhaps an umbrella. In the rare event of extreme or dangerous weather conditions, the tour would be canceled, and you would be offered a full refund or rescheduling.

What specific items should I bring with me on the tour?

Comfort is key! We highly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, as you will be on your feet for the duration of the tour. Other than that, we suggest bringing a camera to capture the memories, weather-appropriate clothing like a jacket or hat, and your sense of adventure. A complimentary bottle of water will be provided for you by your guide.
