Q: What should we wear for this walking tour in July? Is it mostly outside?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since you'll be walking about a mile. It can get hot in July, so lightweight clothing is a must. Don't forget your sunscreen! The tour covers outdoor locations mostly, so prepare for the sun.

A: You can reschedule by contacting the provider directly, and they usually allow changes with no fee as long as you give them a heads-up. Just try to do it at least a day in advance, or they might charge a small fee. They’re pretty accommodating overall.
