The area covered by the tour is relatively small, I would guess that we walked no more than 1.5 miles over a two hour period with frequent stops (including a stop at a bakery for cakes!). The terrain is flat. Fascinating insight into Hasidic culture and highly recommended.

Hi - Thank you for inquiring about the tour of Hasidic Williamsburg! No, the stroller would not pose a problem. We've had babies (and love babies) on several occasions and we navigate a very stroller-busy community. We go into two shops that are a step up and otherwise are outdoors. I hope this helps!
I am considering taking this tour with my daughter who is 4 months pregnant....could you estimate the distance walked on the tour and if there are any periods where you could sit and rest for a few minutes? Thanks!
A:
The only time we really sat was in the Restaurant at the end of the tour. If washroom is an issue there were not any stops where we had washroom facilities!
