The cost of the tour is $25 per person and a portion of which benefits a “Charity of Choice” each year. Registration is required by purchasing a ticket on Eventbrite.com.

If the tour is sold out, you can add your name to the waiting list. The waiting list will open up only if more tickets become available for that tour date.

The tour is "rain or shine". Weather related tour changes/cancellations will be announced by 9:30am on tour day, 1 hour before tour begin and will be posted in EventBrite, where you can view any announcements. No announcements will be made if the tour is scheduled to take place.
The Historical Walking Tours of Worth Avenue are completely wheelchair accessible, as there are no steps throughout the entire tour.
