About this Event

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. I need to monitor the number of people on the tour, and I also need to be able to communicate with you if the tour needs to be cancelled due to the weather or low signups.

This tour requires a minimum number of signups in order to run! If the minimum number is not reached, the tour will be cancelled. You will receive either a tour confirmation email with some last minute details or a cancellation email through Eventbrite no later than 24 hours prior to the scheduled time of the tour. Please check your email the day before the tour and please read any email that you receive about the tour through Eventbrite!

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, the woman who is considered by many to be the mother of black feminism, and the woman who earned the nickname "Lady Edison" because of her numerous inventions!

This tour is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes long, but may be slightly longer or shorter depending on the size and speed of the group. We will start at Exchange Place, which is next to the Poyner YMCA building at 227 Fayetteville St. Exchange Place is to the left of the YMCA as you face the YMCA building.

This tour will take place entirely within the downtown Sip n' Stroll district! While we will not be making any specific stops for drinks, please feel free to arrive early and purchase a drink at a participating establishment before the tour starts. The Big Easy, Zenith, the Anchor Bar, and the Raleigh Times are all close to the starting point. For a list of all the establishments that participate in the Sip n' Stroll program, please click HERE.

But you do not need to buy a drink to participate in the tour -- this is not a pub crawl!! If you are under 21 years old, you are welcome to attend the tour WITHOUT an alcoholic beverage; again, this is not a pub crawl, and we will not be entering any bars on the tour!!

You are not permitted to bring your own alcohol to this event! All alcoholic beverages must be purchased from a participating establishment and must be in a specific Sip n' Stroll plastic cup with a date & timestamp, so you also cannot use a koozie with your beverage because the details on the cup need to be visible throughout the tour.

The tour will end near the US Post Office at 300 Fayetteville St. The end point is half a block 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 Saturdays. If you prefer to park in a deck, there are several decks and parking lots in the area to choose from. I recommend parking in a city-owned deck because they are free all day on Saturdays. The three closest city owned parking decks are all located on south Wilmington St. -- 117, 233, and 429 S. Wilmington St.

I look forward to seeing you on the tour!
