Tours
New York City’s oldest walking tour program
Led by expert guides with deep knowledge of New York City architecture, art, urban history, preservation, neighborhoods and street life, the MAS Tours Program has been bringing eyes on the street since 1956.
MAS in-person tours last approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours and are held outdoors, therefore no masks are required. If you prefer to wear a mask, though, we want you to feel comfortable doing so. Meeting location is provided with registration. With rare exceptions, MAS in-person tours take place rain or shine.
MAS virtual tours are held via Zoom and last approximately 60 to 90 minutes. They are not recorded to be viewed later.
For all tours, there are no refunds, cancellations, or exchanges unless we cancel a tour. Online registration closes one hour prior to the tour start time.
MAS members get at least one free regularly-priced tour, discounts on all other tours, and advance notice of tours. Not yet an MAS member?
This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Additional support provided by Mr. & Mrs. Peter L. Malkin.
MAS offers private tours for groups of up to 20 people (limit of 10 people for tours of Grand Central). To book a private tour, please reach out to Ted Mineau, Director of Tours, at tmineau@mas.org.
