Walk Santa Cruz Tours FAQ

Where can I park?

Street parking is available throughout downtown Santa Cruz. Most tours meet near downtown, where you'll find metered parking and public parking garages.

We recommend using the ParkMobile app for easy mobile payment at parking meters throughout the city.

The app allows you to pay for parking from your phone, extend your session remotely, and receive notifications before your time expires.

Can I bring my dog?

Dogs on leash are welcome to join our tours! They're allowed in all public areas where they would normally be permitted.

Please ensure your dog is well-behaved, on a leash at all times, and comfortable walking in groups. Don't forget to bring water for your furry friend!

Is tipping expected?

Tips are appreciated but not required. If you enjoyed your tour and felt your guide provided exceptional service, gratuities are always welcome as a way to show your appreciation.
