Late Night Rat Tours
Overview
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.
