Typical Tour Itinerary
Although the tour is not a hike, it does cover almost 2 miles. And brick sidewalks are charming but uneven. (What do you expect after 150 years?) So you will need good walking shoes and either a hat or an umbrella. There will be a rest stop at a coffee shop or food market halfway through the tour, including a bathroom break. If the weather really stinks the tour can move to mostly indoor sites or be rescheduled.
Please indicate if you have any special needs or requests when you book your tour.
