I thought I wouldn't be able to go for this, but at the last minute, plans got cancelled, and so I headed off to the National Library to see if I'm able to sign up for any of the tours.
ReplyDeleteAnd... I was able to go for all three tours. The registration process was very smooth and well-organised (though I wish they would have allowed pre-registration, that would have encouraged more people to go, I think). Well worth going, as these types of tours help you notice things you never really "saw" before.
One of the guides indicated that the Society of Tourist Guides may do more of these tours, if they prove to be popular. I do hope they do since I've always loved walking tours. Though next time, I wish they would slow down the walking pace a little - the guides sure strode along at a bruising pace. I was EXHAUSTED at the end of the day.
