Excellent Experience - Excellent experience! We had a great time and learned a lot! Rob was a fantastic guide! Our tour was about two hours long and we walked about 1.5 miles. We stopped in the middle for a break to use the restroom and sample a local brewery.

Excellent knowledge and so fun - Rob of Indy Walking Tours did an excellent job walking backwards while talking about the sights we saw, interacted with each person in some way personally, and told us about Indianapolis and some of the complexity and challenges of the city.

Totally worth it! - My favorite thing when visiting a new city is finding walking tours as a way to fully appreciate the place I’m in. I’ve done tours in multiple US and European cities. This holds up with all my favorites!

Informative, humorous and exciting tour - Rob was a great tour guide. He has done a lot of work to research the sites around downtown Indianapolis. He has a lot of great stories to share. We have lived here in this city for 23 years and have had our fair share of tours and studied the history of the city and state. But we still learned a lot!!
