Step-on guides can be a tour operator’s best friend. Tour operators put a lot of faith in these guides to enhance the experience of their travelers while working to seamlessly fit into their itinerary. Step-on guides will fit easily into your itineraries and give your travelers the best visit to New York City attractions, museums and more.

Here are 5 things you should know about using step-on guides and how to work with NEW YORK STEP ON TOUR GUIDES to ensure your group gets the best experience possible.

Use only the best. Work with a company that has Licensed tour guides for your tours. These guides are informed and trained to answer your clients’ questions and to show them the best of each destination. Step-on guides will ensure your clients’ questions are answered and they get the most out of each destination with personal and professional service. From South Seaport Street, Times Square, Rockefeller center, Central Park and all the New York City has to offer, these guides have you covered.
Use the same company for your entire New York itinerary. For example, SIDTours They have access to Step on Tour guides throughout New York State as well as Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island .
Tell us exactly what your group needs. We pair step-on guides with a group based on a few criteria. We want to make sure your group gets exactly what they need from their step-on guide. Let us know the age-range of the group. What are the interests of the group? For example, would they want to know more about architecture, gardens, general history, etc.? If there is a designated group leader, we will let the Tour Guide know.
Know what a Step-On Guide cannot do. Step-on guides are not allowed to assist any non-ambulatory guest. This includes pushing wheelchairs. Also, step-on guides will not be able to add anything to an itinerary that would cost additional funds that have not been previously arranged and paid for. The guides company will be happy to go over any add-ons to your itinerary and plan those in advance for you. Tours also must begin and end in such a manner that the step-on guide has access to their transportation home. And the guide cannot take the motorcoach anywhere the driver deems unsafe.
