Big Onion offers both public "show up" tours and private tours year-round.
We do not require pre-payment for our public tours - just show up at the meeting site and join. We require reservations only for our Multi-Ethnic Eating Tour. Meeting sites are listed with tour descriptions.
Tours last approximately two hours and cover between one and two miles at a moderate walking pace.
All tours are available for private and group bookings. We can accommodate group sizes ranging from 1 to 500 participants.
Please call the Tour Hotline [212] 439-1090 or email for detailed school group information and private or adult group tour rates. Fee minimums apply for private tours.
Note: Tour schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather. Please call our hotline (212) 439-1090 ext. 1 after 9:30 a.m. and our message will reflect any changes to our tour program.
