Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for this tour?

A: There aren't any strict age limits for the Winston Salem African American History Tour. It's designed to be educational and engaging for all ages, but I would recommend it for kids around 12 and up who can appreciate the historical context. Just keep in mind younger kids might get a bit restless during the walking parts!

Q: What should I wear for the tour, and is it mostly walking?

A: Definitely wear comfortable walking shoes! The tour does involve quite a bit of walking around the historic factory district and Depot Street area, so you’ll want to be ready for that. Also, check the weather beforehand to dress accordingly, as it’s mostly outdoors.

Q: What if the weather is bad? Do they cancel or reschedule the tour?

A: If the weather is really bad, they do have a policy to cancel or reschedule the tour for safety. They notify you ahead of time if that happens, and you'll get options for rescheduling. Just make sure to check their cancellation policy on the website or give them a call!
