This is an outdoor tour. Benefit Street is a very old street, therefore the sidewalks can be uneven. Travelers must be able to walk for ninety minutes or have a mobility device they can comfortably navigate in moderately uneven terrain (side walks, roads that are a mixture of cement, brick, and cobble stone).
Some guests using wheelchairs/mobility devices have found Benefit Street and the subsequent sidewalks accessible, while others find it challenging. We recommend going to Benefit Street in advance of a tour to determine if it is appropriate for your level of comfort and needs.

Cancellation policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
