FAQs
How long do tours last?
Tours last between 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Please check the schedule.
Are reservation required?
No, but it is strongly encouraged. Because these are all specially scheduled events only those that are pre-registered are guaranteed a spot. It is helpful for us to get an exact count of participants to have the adequate amount of docents and materials on hand. NOTE: We ask groups of 8 or more to schedule
a special tour several weeks in advance.
What do tours cost?
All publicly scheduled tours are a $5 donation per person. Children under 5 are free.
Can my group join a tour?
We can not allow groups of 8
or more to join our regularly scheduled walks. Large groups are a
challenge and need to be scheduled in advance so that we can make prior arrangements with sites we are visiting.
How do I arrange for a private or group tour?
Private tours are available for groups
or organizations with 8
or more persons. Arrangements may be made in advance by filling out this form or
sending preferred date time, group and contact information to info@casaq.com
Private Groups: $12 per person
Non-Profits Groups, Seniors & Students: $10 per person
Are donations accepted on regular tours?
Yes, absolutely! Even though the tours are given by volunteer
docents and guides the materials still cost money and every donation you make to the host organization is greatly appreciated.
Are pets allowed?
In consideration of the health, safety
and comfort of our walkers, pets are not allowed on tours. Besides
common fears and allergies, pets can cause distractions or safety
hazards during a walking tour. Pets are prohibited by public law or
private policy in some buildings included on tours. Licensed service
animals are exempted.
