What You Will Do
I provide a custom tour through the labyrinth that is the subway. You choose the starting and ending points (say, your hotel and where you're going for dinner) and I create a one-of-a-kind route through the system to show you as much of it as possible while getting you to your destination right on time.
The tour listed below is a sample. Times are flexible and all tours are private and customizable.
This tour is perfect for all ages for anyone who is interested in the subway. We will see abandoned stations, beautiful artwork, ancient technology next to beautiful design.
Potential topics include:
- Subway history and construction
- Maps, signage, and design
- Tunnels and bridges
- Turnstiles and payment systems
- Unwritten rules and customs
- Tips and tricks for getting around
- Hidden stations
- Artwork, station motifs, and graffiti
