FAQ's
How long are your tours and experiences? Every tour and experience is different, but the average time is about 2.5 hrs. Sometimes tours may run over or finish up a little early based on group size and walking speed. Check the “What to Expect” section under each tour or experience for an approximate length.
How long are the Going Local Picnics? Our picnics are about 2hrs long, but can be extended for a fee.
Are children welcome on the tours? Most of our Tours and Experiences are Adult focused, but our Sweets, Treats and Tales Tour could be an option if you don’t mind a child all hopped up on sugar. Your call. Going Local assumes no responsibility for the sugar high your child may or may not exhibit at the end of the tour.
I have allergies/dietary restrictions. What do I do? Before booking, please contact us to make sure we can accommodate any allergies or food restrictions.
Are masks required? If you are fully vaccinated, you are not required to wear a mask.
Are Gratuities Included? Any location we visit that requires tipping will be taken care of by Going Local. We also know some people like to leave a little extra sometimes and always support that to help the local staff.
What about Tipping the Guide? If you had a great time on your tour or experience and want to show your Tour Guide some love, a tip is always appreciated!
What is the appropriate tip amount for the guide? Most guidebooks and American Express suggest 20% of the full tour price as a point of reference.

How do you help Support Local Business? We connect people to local business by creating tours and experiences that focus on the local businesses in the area and bring attention through their stories and tastes! We believe so many of us are guilty of passing by some really great local places and not knowing their story. It is amazing how connected you feel to a place once you get to know its background and try some of their products!
