Q&A

Q: Is there a lot of walking involved? I’m worried about my grandma keeping up.

A: The tour does involve a fair amount of walking, but it’s generally at a leisurely pace. There are some stops along the way to catch your breath and hear more about the history. If your grandma has mobility concerns, you might want to check if she has a walker or if she can take breaks during the tour. They’re pretty accommodating!

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? Is it casual?

A: Absolutely, casual is the way to go! Just wear comfortable shoes since you’ll be on your feet a lot. If it’s sunny, don’t forget a hat and sunscreen. Also, check the weather beforehand—layers could help in case it gets breezy. Enjoy the tour!

Q: Can I reschedule if something comes up? What’s the policy like?

A: Yeah, you can usually reschedule, but it depends on how far in advance you let them know. I’d suggest contacting them at least 48 hours prior to your scheduled tour. They’re pretty flexible, but giving them a heads up helps!

Thinking of gifting the Winston-Salem Walking Tour, has anyone done it?

I'm considering this for my parents' anniversary. They love history and walking, but I'm not sure if the tour is engaging enough for them. What are the highlights? Are they gonna learn something new or is it just a stroll through the city?

Any tips for the Winston-Salem walking tour?

I’m going on this walking tour soon and super excited! I heard it covers a lot of ground about the industrial history of the city. Should I bring water or anything special? What’s a good time of year to go?
