KINDLY BE PATIENT — THIS PAGE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!
Our hardworking, all-volunteer staff appreciates your patience as we painstakingly build out our events. It requires at least 1 hour of work per event to develop complete registration pages, tickets, reminder emails, etc. We plan to offer 40 walking tours this summer, led by 20+ guides. Suffice it to say, we're busy beavers! Please check back often for updates. The information below allows you to "save the date" for your most-anticipated tours of the season. Complete details, registration links, and calendar holds will be available as soon as possible (no later than two weeks prior to the event date). Thank you!

All of our events are offered on a pay-what-you-can basis. We suggest a tax-deductible donation of $10-20 per attendee for those who are able to comfortably do so. Your donations help us pay our talented tour guides and cover the myriad of expenses that small nonprofits accrue. Our staff is entirely volunteer.
