That's the goal!  We visit areas where rat activity is commonly seen, but these are wild animals, so rat sightings fluctuate from 25 to 225  sightings. Even on a quieter night, you'll still learn about NYC rat history, behavior, hot spots, trash, pest control, and some of the city's craziest rat stories.

Tours normally operate in light rain and typical NYC weather. Tours may be delayed, rescheduled, or canceled because of heavy rain, thunderstorms, extreme temperatures, or other unsafe conditions. If your tour is canceled, you'll be contacted with information about rescheduling or your available options.

If no tour dates or times are showing on the booking page, that usually means the tour is sold out, unavailable that night, or new dates haven't been released yet. Check back for additional dates or contact NYC Rat Tours directly to ask about upcoming availability. Please share when you are traveling to NYC or if you are a local so we can respond with availability. We might be able to fit you in!  

Plan for approximately 60–90 minutes, depending on the group, rat activity, weather, and what's happening in NYC that night. 

Comfortable walking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, a charged phone for photos and videos, and most importantly—your curiosity about NYC's most famous residents.
