Are you nervous about riding on the NYC subway system? Don't be.

To truly experience The City you must ride the subway but it can be intimidating for those who've never done it before.

Come have a one-of-a-kind experience with a local NYC tour guide who'll show you how to master the subway system.

Topics include:

  • Subway history and construction
  • Maps, signage, and design
  • Tunnels and bridges
  • Turnstiles and payment systems
  • Unwritten rules and customs
  • Tips and tricks for getting around
  • Hidden stations
  • Artwork, station motifs, and graffiti
  • Train models and technology
  • Advertising and performers
  • Decline, improvements, and future construction

On top of that, each tour is custom because I will meet you wherever is convenient and drop you off wherever you're going.

You choose the starting and the ending location and I'll create our route to see as much as we can in a little under two hours.

I'll meet you outside on the street because the tour starts before we even enter the station - there are entrances, Subway globes, and turnstiles to talk about! - and I'll drop you off at your next stop.


Reservations: This is a private tour. Timing is very flexible and, lucky for us, the subway is open 24 hours a day! I'd suggest groups below 5 people but will be happy to accommodate larger ones.

Duration: We are at the mercy of the train schedules! and will sometimes have to make route changes based on delays and construction but it should take between 90 and 120 minutes

Cost: There are pricing tiers plus $2.75 to enter the subway. One of my favorite parts is that we can see so much of the system using transfers and connections and only pay once to get in.

Start: You can choose or I'll suggest Union Square on 14th St

And much, much more
