A6 I guess anything involving tobacco smoking, physically harmful activities, or firearms, I would pass. #travel #JAchat @jettingaround @taltywrites

A6. "Never" is a bit harsh. I'll say a tour I'm least likely to do is a nighttime ghost/cemetery tour. I'm a big chicken when it comes to stuff like that. #JAchat

A6: I'm skeptical of "slum" #walkingtours although I know there are some good ones out there. I'd always make sure to check credentials and make sure the organization is working with local communities, rather than exploiting them. #JAChat

replying to @Claudioula @Claudioula @taltywrites @jettingaround A6: Nothing we can think of top of mind, but we think it's important to research a tour first—you don’t want to get stuck in a corny tourist trap! #JAChat

A6: I really dislike the idea of celebrity home tours. I find them intrusive and don't understand the appeal #JAChat

A6: I’d never do a horror walking tour. My imagination is too good. I'd be scared for weeks. #JAchat

A6 #JAchat I'd never do any tour that involves the use and/or exploitation of animals. Animals ARE NOT tourist attractions.

replying to @NewYorkHabitat @NewYorkHabitat @WorkMomTravels @AdventurePretty @contexttravel All if it? It was also very cool to be standing in front of the drinking establishment Picasso and his contemporaries frequented too ( I am an art nut) #JAchat

replying to @suitcasenall @suitcasenall I'm going at the beginning of September. @askirmishofwit and I are looking at Gothic Quarter tours and planning walking routes of the city and the foodie hotspots #jachat

replying to @taltywrites @taltywrites I live in India and am not a fan of those walking tours. But oh well each to their own 😀 #jachat

A6: I've never done a foodie walking tour, as I'm a vegetarian and always wonder if there would be much I could eat. But, I know there are an increasing amount of vegetarian/vegan walking tours now. I must check one out someday. #JAChat

RT @CharlesMcCool: Q6: Is there a type of a walking tour you’d never do? Why? Via @taltywrites @jettingaround #JAchat #travel https://t.co/…

A6 As long as it doesn't include eating stinky tofu or drinking baijiu, I'll go along. #jachat

A6: I'm always on my guard at night (and easily startled if someone is in my space) so a ghost or true crime walking tour designed to freak people out probably wouldn't be a very good idea. I'm scared I'd whirl around and put my fists up! #JAChat

replying to @TomFliesDotCom @TomFliesDotCom There are actually two. There's one by the Central Park Conservatory that focuses on the park and then there is a site-specific art-based tour by @PublicArtFund that is INCREDIBLE. I wrote about both in this @Forbes article: https://t.co/mxapjbtrbA #JAChat

I know it's kind of off-topic considering hits is about walking tours and all but I've taken to bike tours of late, similar premise, factual and passionate guides, but you can see a lot more and mix in walking too #jachat

A5: I'm crazy about architecture! So architecture tour will be awesome @taltywrites #JAchat @jettingaround @Claudioula

A5: My ideal walking tour is one that involves food! We did a fabulous food/walking tour in St. Augustine where we tried incredible local cuisine, learned the rich history of the region & ate a lot of Datil Peppers! @FlHistoricCoast https://t.co/RKl19lyN8a #JAChat @CharlesMcCool

replying to @foodguruchannel @foodguruchannel @taltywrites @AdventurePretty @StreetArtChat Is the Mission still THE place for murals in SF? #JAchat

RT @AdventurePretty: A5 By all means Rome. I think I went up and down the iconic steps 6 times to burn off all my gelato lol!

replying to @LizHannah25 @LizHannah25 And these days they feature some of these celeb homes on so many lifestyle shows. Guess coz of the big bucks 😀 #JAchat

replying to @jettingaround @jettingaround A6: Same! It would be disrespectful to be a tourist in a destitute, affected community. Volunteer, help out, but don’t turn it into a romanticized scene like many ego-driven travelers do #JAchat
taltywrites
replying to @Pinkzenjoy @Pinkzenjoy Yeah, I'm with you. I feel like oftentimes the attendees have good intentions, but usually these tours only ostracizes underserved communities. #JAChat
