Join these interactive learning experiences offered through guided walks, runs, rides, and behind-the-scenes tours around Rochester. Instead of relying on signage or audio narration, knowledgeable local experts lead these guided tours, highlighting the Greater Rochester Region’s rich history, geology, ecology, and community.
Guided walks offer an excellent opportunity to learn and socialize with like-minded individuals who share your interests. They are particularly beneficial for individuals who prefer not to explore on their own.
Check out each organization’s website, follow them on social media, and sign up for their newsletters to stay informed. Members of these organizations are typically the first to learn about tours when they are offered. Membership often includes complimentary walks, which would otherwise be charged as a member benefit. It’s always a good idea to explore membership. Space may be limited on tours, and pre-registration is often required, so it’s good to be among the first to hear about a new event.
