Know before you book

  • Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
  • Service animals allowed
  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • 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.
