PRIVATE AND CUSTOMIZED TOURS:

Before you arrive — a few things worth knowing

  • Payment All tours are paid in advance online. Your spot isn't confirmed until payment is complete.

  • Cancellations Life happens. In cases of medical or personal emergency, refunds are available. For other cancellations, please get in touch as early as possible — Alex will do his best to find a solution.

  • Where to meet Each tour has a designated meeting point, confirmed in your booking. Plan to arrive fifteen to twenty minutes before departure — not for administrative reasons, but because that time is part of the experience. It's when the group meets, Alex sets the scene, and everyone gets their bearings before the city takes over.

  • Running late If something goes wrong on your way, text Alex. He'll send you the next meeting point and you can join the group there.

  • Getting around Tours involve a combination of walking and subway. If you'd prefer to avoid the subway entirely, that can be arranged. Just mention it when you book and we will work something out.

  • Weather You'll receive a weather update by text the day before your tour. New York weather is what it is, so dress for it. Tours run in rain and cold. They do not run in genuinely dangerous conditions, in which case you'll hear from Alex directly.

  • Accessibility All participants should be comfortable with sustained walking. If you have specific accessibility needs, please get in touch before booking so Alex can advise honestly on what's possible.

  • Restroom breaks Every hour, without fail.
