WARNING--CHARLOTTE AMALIE Walking Tour

[ducklite]

I took this tour, and it was a lot of fun, and very interesting. BUT...

This tour is not only a lot of walking, but it is up and down a LOT of stairs and uneven paths. It is NOT at all suitable for anyone with mobility impairments, and I would not reccomend it for anyone with a stroller. It is a very structured, historical, museum type tour, and I would also not suggest it for younger children. There were a couple on the tour with us, they were very bored and fussy. It is also a HOT tour, you are outside or in unairconditioned buildings most of the time, bring water with you!

The other problem with this tour is that at one point you will stop under some large trees. There will be LARGE iguanas in the trees, and they poop and pee from up in the branches. I strongly suggest that you not stand under the trees, you might quickly regret it if you do.

thank you for that report. It's always good to know what the tours are like. Personally, I sometimes have trouble walking and could never do this kind of tour. Also, it's nice to know what is for adults and for the children because I fall into that latter category and this tour would have been HARD for me too!

P.S. Did they tell you to bring umbrellas for the iguana experience?!
