Unique walking tours in NYC
Small-group New York history walks for people who want something more specific than another food tour, ghost tour, or bus loop.
A New York walking tour with a stranger hook and better stories.
Cats About Town Tours is built for people who like real city history, but do not want the same standard sightseeing script. Each route follows historic New York blocks through true cat stories pulled from old newspapers, archives, and neighborhood records.
It is still a proper walking tour: licensed guides, clear routes, small groups, practical booking details, and neighborhoods worth exploring before or after the walk.

Walks through places worth seeing.
