Join us on a walking tour of hearts won and lost! You will hear about the city’s most notable love affairs — passionate tales that echo through the ages. Uncover forbidden romances that defied societal norms, tragic tales of star-crossed lovers lost to time, and a sweet love story at the end that will leave you smiling. You will be swept away by stories of heartbreak and happily ever after!
This tour is perfect for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day or for a group of gal pals for a Galentine’s Day outing! Or just treat yourself to a fun afternoon out!
PLEASE NOTE: Because it’s February, I won’t keep you out in the cold ‘til you freeze! The tour lasts approximately 1 hour, but may be slightly longer depending on the size and speed of the group. I have budgeted 1 hour and 15 minutes for this tour to be on the safe side!
We will start at the Governor’s Mansion at 200 N. Blount St. The Governor’s Mansion takes up an entire city block, so please make sure that you are on the Blount St. side of the mansion. The starting point is in the middle of the block, outside of the mansion’s front gate. This is a walking tour! It is NOT a tour of the Governor’s Mansion.
Please do NOT attempt to enter the grounds of the Governor’s Mansion at any time, especially through any of the entrances at the corners of the block. Also, please do not call the Governor’s Mansion or buzz any of the intercoms at the Mansion gates.
The tour will finish near the Legislative Building/History Museum at 16 W. Jones St., which is approximately 1.5 blocks from the starting point. Please plan your parking accordingly! There is plenty of free parking both on the street and in parking lots near the starting point. In addition, there will not be any restroom breaks or stops for food/drinks, and we will not be entering any buildings during the tour
