Discover the Family-Friendly Side of Vibe Tours, NYC Adventures with Attitude
Welcome to Vibe Tours - Where New York City’s Secrets Are in the Sidewalks
New York City isn’t a museum piece, it’s alive, messy, and magnificent. That’s why at Vibe Tours, they don’t do cookie-cutter sightseeing. They do real New York.
Their guides are not actors with scripts. They’re locals with stories, comedians with street smarts, and historians with heart. Every tour is a conversation, not a lecture. You’ll see the city the way they see it: through humor, grit, and genuine love.
If you’re chasing authenticity, not polish - you just found your crew.
Here are a list of four amazing family- friendly tours that we had to tell you and for you to consider when planning your next trip to New York City.
Step into the world of Alexander Hamilton, with a soundtrack guiding your steps.
In this 90-minute immersive tour, Broadway meets real history. With Hamilton songs streaming through your earpiece, you’ll visit the exact sites where the story unfolded — Trinity Church, Hamilton’s Grave, Federal Hall, Fraunces Tavern, and Wall Street.
Kids and adults sing, ask questions, and light up as they connect lyrics to landmarks. Parents love watching history come alive, not through textbooks, but through beats and rhymes.
This isn’t just a walking tour; it’s a musical, historical adventure perfect for the whole family.
Tour length: 90–105 minutes
Price: Adults $39 | Kids under 14 $30
Everyone flocks to Rockefeller Center, but locals know where the real holiday magic glows.
Join our Other Christmas Lights Tour and uncover downtown Manhattan’s twinkling secrets. Starting near City Hall, we wander through cobblestone lanes, hidden plazas, and festive facades far from the tourist traps. The route changes every season to stay ahead of the crowds.
Along the way, you’ll enjoy a free hot-chocolate stop, heart-warming stories of Old New York holidays, and photo-perfect backdrops your friends won’t believe exist.
Perfect for families seeking cozy, local holiday cheer, and yes, your Instagram feed will thank you.
Tour length: ~90 minutes

See Midtown before the world wakes up. This sunrise adventure begins with a 60-minute guided stroll through Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and The Lotte Hotel Courtyard, the famous backdrop for Gossip Girl. Your guide will spill behind-the-scenes stories and reveal photo spots that make early wake-ups totally worth it.
Then comes your VIP moment: a Radio City Music Hall Stagedoor Tour, included in your ticket. Step backstage, peek inside costume rooms, and meet a Rockette while discovering how this legendary venue once helped America during WWII.
Want to catch the Rockettes afterward? We’ll help you score the best deals.
Tour length: ~2 hours
Price: Adults $59 | Kids under 12 $49 (includes Radio City ticket)
Finance may sound serious, but not when your guide grew up on the trading floor.
Led by the child of a New York Stock Exchange floor broker, this insider tour breaks down Wall Street’s past and present in a way families actually enjoy. You’ll walk through the canyons of finance, explore where fortunes rose and fell, and decode how markets shape everyday life.
Your guide’s passion for teaching turns complex ideas, like golden crosses and market trends, into lightbulb moments. Students, parents, and teachers love how engaging and relatable it feels.
Tour length: 75–90 minutes
Price: All Ages $29
