Awesome 'Immigrant' tour with Drew! Highly recommend as he was so knowledgeable and kept us moving on a cold/rainy day to keep warm but also kept us engaged.Full review by ekaine09
I will be taking your tour this month. I know you walk at a moderate pace. Do you stop frequently for discussion? I have no problem walking but I have to stop often for mini rest periods.

the guides are very keyed into the attendees needs. there are frequent stops for discussion but there is no sitting for the duration of the tour or rest room stops. However, the length of the tours make those usually unnecessary.

Thank you for reaching out to us via TripAdvisor. We do recommend advance reservations, but the only tours that require them are the Multi-Ethnic Eating Tour and the America’s Museum Tour. Reservations can be made via the green “Book Now” button this is with each tour description page on our website. We have attempted to make our website (TripAdvisor won't allow me to say our site address) user-friendly with a series of tabs to access specific tour information. Big Onion does not offer every tour every day. For an accurate schedule of upcoming public tours please click the “Schedule” icon. This will give a day-by-day calendar of upcoming tours over the next few months. Please click the “Tours” icon for brief descriptions of tours along with meeting site, subway directions & a “map” option to graphically show the meeting site. Our tours are searchable based on geography and theme as well. Our tours are given rain or shine. We do reserve the right to cancel tours for extreme or dangerous weather. Any & all schedule updates will appear on our hotline (888) 606-WALK by 9:00 a.m. the morning of any given date. If you have specific questions that cannot be answered by our website please do not hesitate to email again. Best, Seth Kamil, President
Greetings Big Onion from Paris.... I've been trying, without success, to open your website. Is your website open to foreign countries? My husband and I will be in New York from April 11 - 18 and would be greatly interested in taking a couple of your tours. Thank you kindly for your response. Diana and Pascal

Thank you for your note. Our website works world-wide. On occasion our server/host does overnight upgrades that may take our site offline for a short time. Please retry our site - perhaps going directly to our site at bigonion. Followed by "com", rather than through trip advisor? In April we offer public walking tours daily, with multiple tours a day Friday through Monday. Best, Seth Kamil, President

Thanks for your note. We generally set our public tour calendar about 4 months in advance. I anticipate August being added in mid to late April. You are welcome to email me through our website with your travel dates and, if possible, can try to schedule that walk during your visit. Cannot guarantee but certainly happy to try.
