Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this walking tour? Can kids join?

A: There's no strict age limit for the Footlights & Felonies tour, but it's more suited for older kids and teenagers due to the themes of crime and ghost stories. Younger children might not find it as engaging. Just be sure to supervise them since it’s a public tour and involves walking on city streets.

Q: What if it rains? Do they cancel the tour?

A: They usually run the tour rain or shine since it’s a walking tour and you don’t go inside any buildings. However, if the weather is severe, they might cancel. It's best to check their website or call them on the day to confirm!

Q: What's the best way to get there? Is parking easy?

A: There's street parking available near the starting point, but it can fill up quickly, especially on weekends. I recommend arriving early to find a spot or consider using a rideshare service. The tour starts at a central location, so it's pretty easy to get to via public transport too!

Thinking of gifting the Footlights & Felonies tour!

Hey folks! I’m considering gifting the Footlights & Felonies walking tour to my friend who loves ghost stories and history. I love that it’s only a mile long and they use an EMV Ghost Detector! Has anyone done this recently? What was your experience like?

Is this tour suitable for someone who's not super fit?

I’m thinking about the Footlights & Felonies tour for my aunt, but she’s not very active. Is the walking pace manageable? What if she needs to take breaks? Any thoughts?
