Description

This tour is pay-what-you-want !  If you enjoy the tour, please compensate your guide appropriately! CASH ONLY please! Usually, the guide receives $15 to $20 per adult, but you are free to give more or less than that, depending on how you feel about your tour. As you can imagine, the tour guide has to work hard to earn your appreciation! Tours have always been pay-what-you-want, but advance registration is now REQUIRED.  If you do not sign up through Eventbrite for a spot on the tour, you will not be allowed to participate.  This tour was created to highlight the incredible women who helped make Raleigh the fabulous city that it is today! On this tour, you will learn about several amazing women, including the city's first female mayor, one of the civil rights movement's most influential women, and the woman who earned the nickname "Lady Edison" because of her numerous inventions! PLEASE NOTE: This is my first time running this tour! I expect it to last somewhere in the range of 75 minutes to 90 minutes, so I have budgeted an hour and a half to be on the safe side! We will start the tour on the sidewalk outside of Whiskey Kitchen at 201 W. Martin St.   This tour will take place entirely within the downtown Sip and Stroll district! While we will not be making any specific stops for drinks, please feel free to arrive early and purchase a drink at Whiskey Kitchen before the tour starts. Along the way, you also have the option of getting a drink at several establishments, including Poole'side Pies, the Haymaker, and the Big Easy. To do this, you would need to break off from the tour and then rejoin us after you purchase your beverage. The tour will end near the US Post Office at 300 Fayetteville St.  The end point is 2 blocks away from the starting point.   There will not be any restroom breaks or stops for food/drinks. Please plan your parking accordingly.  Free street parking is available on weekends.  If you prefer to park in a deck, the closest parking deck is the Wake County parking deck, located at 216 W. Cabarrus St., on the corners of Davie, McDowell and Cabarrus streets.   Vehicular entrances are located on Cabarrus and Davie streets.  This deck is 1 block away from the starting point of the tour. March 25th is the ONLY date that I am offering this tour in the spring of 2023, and there is no planned rain date at this time. I look forward to seeing you on the tour!
