Locals - would you ever take a walking tour and why

Hi all! I’m a newly licensed tour guide looking to create niche/weird tours of NYC (i.e., I want to lead tours for people who are actually interested in history/culture/art, rather than folks who want Instagram moments or who want to see the most common tourist sites - though those are also valid reasons for going in a walking tour).

Would you ever, as a local, book a walking tour? Why or why not? And what might make you more willing to do so?
