FAQs

  • Do I need a reservation?
    I recommend booking in advance, but if it’s a last minute decision, simply meet at the starting point and join us! Cash, credit cards and Venmo accepted if you join us onsite.
  • Where do we meet to start the tour?
    We meet outside the main entrance of the Independence Visitor Center on Market Street.
  • How will I recognize you?
    I’ll be wearing a white polo shirt, visor and name badge with a red, white & blue lanyard.
  • Is there a minimum or maximum number needed for a tour?
    Nope, although I like to cap groups at 30.
  • Do you go inside any of the sites?
    Nope. I tell you what’s on the menu, you decide where to go when we’re done. All sites are experienced from the outside.
  • Does the tour start and end at the same place?
    Yes. Tours start and end at the Independence Visitor Center.
  • How long are the walks and how fast do we go?
    The walk takes 90 minutes (1½ hours). We travel at steady & comfortable pace.
  • Are your walking tours suitable for children?
    Absolutely! You don’t want a boring tour, and I don’t want to lead one, so I “dig for treasure” to find the truly interesting facts the other companies overlook. Do that, and everyone is fascinated.
  • Are the walking tours wheelchair and/or stroller accessible?
    Yes. The walking tour is accessible for both wheelchairs and strollers.
  • Are restrooms available on the walks?
    No, they are not. I suggest stopping in the IVC to use the restroom before beginning the walk.
  • What happens if I’m running late?
    I usually allow a 5 minute window before leaving to start the tour. If after that, simply find us along the route. You can’t miss me…white polo shirt, visor and loud, booming voice.
  • Can I bring my dog?
    I love dogs! However, only service dogs are permitted on the tour. The city is a busy place and I’d never forgive myself if something happened to your fur buddy.
  • Am I allowed to smoke or vape on the tour?
    I prefer that you do not, but if you must please trail the group at a distance and rejoin us when finished.
  • What happens if it rains?
    We keep going! Walks take place rain or shine. Lightening is the only thing that cancels a tour and a refund will be issued only if the tour has not yet started.
