Our sculpture and botanic garden tour is about a 1.5-mile walk at a medium pace with cobbledstone narrow stairs, hills, and some uneven terrain, with no benches along the route. We climb the equivalent of 7 floors. It may be too strenuous for those with walking/standing difficulties. By signing up for a tour, you agree that you and your guest are able to navigate this described terrain.
We give free guided daytime tours to adults only a few Wednesdays and Saturdays a month. A reservation is for two adults. Guided tours last approximately 2- 2.5 hours. Due to the nature of the tour, you must be able to stay the full duration of the tour. It is not possible to leave part-way through.
