Our Services

Not at all! Our tours are designed to be accessible and engaging for everyone, regardless of your knowledge level. Our guides explain architectural concepts in clear, relatable terms, connecting buildings to history and culture in ways that resonate with all visitors. We welcome both architecture enthusiasts and those who are simply curious about the stories behind the buildings in our cities.

Most of our standard tours cover approximately 1.5-2 kilometers (about 1 mile) at a leisurely pace over 2 hours, with several stops along the way. We strive to make our tours accessible, but some historic districts do have uneven surfaces, steps, or slight inclines. We're happy to discuss any mobility concerns before booking and can often modify routes to accommodate various needs. We also offer specialized tours with minimal walking for those who prefer a less physically demanding experience.

Tours generally proceed in light rain (we recommend bringing umbrellas and appropriate footwear), but in cases of severe weather, we offer several options: rescheduling to another date at no additional cost, converting to an indoor-focused tour where possible, or providing a full refund if the tour needs to be cancelled and no alternative arrangements work for your schedule. We monitor weather conditions closely and will contact you at least 2 hours before the tour if weather is likely to impact your experience.

Absolutely! We specialize in creating customized architectural experiences based on your specific interests. Whether you're fascinated by a particular style (Victorian, Art Deco, Modernist), building type (churches, industrial heritage, residential), or theme (sustainable design, adaptive reuse, cultural influences), we can develop a tour that focuses on your areas of interest. Our team includes specialists in various architectural periods and types, allowing us to create truly personalized experiences.

While we don't provide architectural design or contracting services, we do offer specialized consultation for heritage homeowners. Our services include historical research to document your property's evolution, identification of significant features worth preserving, guidance on appropriate restoration approaches, and referrals to qualified preservation contractors and suppliers of period-appropriate materials. We can also assist with heritage designation applications and help you understand the benefits and responsibilities of owning a heritage property.

We offer age-appropriate architectural experiences for young people of all ages. For families, our "Young Architects" tours engage children with interactive elements, scavenger hunts, and hands-on activities. For school groups, we provide curriculum-aligned programs that connect to subjects including history, art, mathematics, and social studies. These educational experiences are led by guides with teaching experience who know how to make architecture accessible and exciting for young minds. Please contact us to discuss your specific needs for children's programming.
