Highlights

Join Kenny Bollwerk — social media creator and founder of viral “Rat Tok” — for a one-of-a-kind walking tour that shines a light on the city’s most notorious (and furry) residents: the rats. As featured in national media and followed by hundreds of thousands online, Kenny leads guests through NYC's backstreets, alleyways, and trash-lined curbs to explore the quirky, grimy, and oddly fascinating world of NYC's rodent population. This is part urban adventure, part comedy show, and part public service announcement — all rolled into a 90-minute experience that’s as unforgettable as the city itself. Typical Tour Insightful (and hilarious) commentary on rat behavior, city infrastructure, rat locations and urban myths. Tips on how NYC is fighting its rodent problem — and what still needs to be done Perfect for: adventurous tourists, NYC locals, curious animal lovers, and anyone who enjoys learning weird things in weird places.

As you walk through alleyways, side streets, and high-traffic corridors, you’ll learn how food waste, building design, sanitation schedules, and human behavior all influence where rats live and thrive.

About New York City

New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.

Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.

Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
