There is no form and no ticket desk here, because nothing on this site is sold or booked. Both GuruWalk walks and the single freetour.com walk are run by independent local guides, and every reservation happens on that walk's own platform page. What this page offers is one email address, and mail sent to it gets read. Corrections, new leads and firm disagreements all belong there. The shortest useful message usually works best.

Not every message carries the same weight. A note about a wrong meeting point or a free-entry rule that has shifted protects the next visitor's afternoon, which is worth more than a casual question. That is the mail this page was built for.

• Tours drift from their descriptions. A guide moves a start point, drops a stop, or hands the route to a colleague, and a page can fall behind the street. Notice a mismatch on any of the 3 walks here? Name the tour and describe what changed. Cost never needs flagging: every walk on this site is pay what you want, so there is no fee to drift.
• A walk that has closed its books or quietly trimmed its route. Tours sometimes stop accepting sign-ups, drop a stop, or shift their start time without any announcement. Tell us which walk changed and what the new reality looks like. If the claim matches what the walk's own GuruWalk or freetour.com page shows, the entry gets corrected or pulled.
• Admission rules in this city rarely sit still. Free entry at several museums and government buildings depends on a timed pass or an advance request, and those systems get adjusted without much warning. If a page here repeats a rule an attraction has since dropped, name the requirement that applies now. Every entry rule on this site comes from what the institution itself publishes, never from marketing copy.
• Spotted a walk these pages have missed? If a bookable free tour of Washington DC exists on GuruWalk or freetour.com and has no coverage here, send the link and it will get the same treatment as the rest of the roster. Nothing on this site can be bought: no operator can pay to appear, and no entry can be paid into a better position.
• Questions are welcome too, whether they fit the FAQ or belong among the guides.

After You Send

Corrections outrank everything else. A meeting point recorded wrong, or a timed-pass rule attached to the wrong museum, can cost a visitor the one free afternoon they had, so anything that repairs a fact jumps the queue. Broader questions wait behind those, and some turn into a longer piece of writing instead of a quick note back. There is no mailing list here, and no address leaves this site.

Where Bookings Live

This site never takes, holds or alters a reservation. All 3 walks belong to their guides, and sign-up happens on GuruWalk or freetour.com, the platforms that record your name and handle whatever you decide to tip at the end. What this site does ends at pointing you toward walks that have been read and checked. So a moved date, a cancellation, a question about your spot or a payment problem belongs with the guide, on the platform where your booking actually lives.

Already booked? Start with the confirmation email from GuruWalk or freetour.com rather than this site. That message holds your reference number, the meeting point and a direct line to the guide. A delayed start, a group you cannot locate, or a date you need to move can only be resolved by whoever runs the walk, because the reservation sits with them and this site plays no part in delivering it. Writing here about a live booking just adds a step.

Two lines in that confirmation deserve a slow read before anyone writes in. One is the meeting point: in this city guides gather at precise spots, a named memorial or a particular statue, and walkers who skim that line lose the group. The other is the cancellation policy, which varies from walk to walk, since even a pay-what-you-want seat is a seat another visitor may want. On both, the guide's own page has the final word.

Try the site before you write. The tour categories sort all 3 walks by time of day and operator, and the guides lay out which museums and monuments admit you for nothing and on what conditions. Many questions dissolve faster that way than a reply ever could.
