Raleigh & Downtown Walking Tour

With plenty of time to explore, eat, relax and learn something new, this is the perfect short break for curious travellers. Your included walking tour is a real highlight. Led by a local expert who brings the city’s stories to life in a fun, engaging way, you’ll wander through Fayetteville Street, once known as North Carolina’s “Main Street,” hear tales of how the city was planned from scratch, and stop by Union Square, home to the striking State Capitol building. Along the way, you’ll spot grand historic homes, quirky public art, and hear behind-the-scenes tales from the Civil War, the civil rights era, and Raleigh’s modern-day revival. Expect plenty of photo ops, hidden gems, and surprising facts that even the locals might not know!

Your base for the trip is the welcoming DoubleTree by Hilton Raleigh Midtown, just 10 minutes from downtown. With stylish, modern rooms, a relaxing outdoor pool and a fitness centre to burn off those hushpuppies, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing. You’ll love the warm welcome, including that famous DoubleTree cookie on arrival, and the hotel’s laid-back atmosphere makes it a comfy retreat for couples, friends, or solo explorers. Plus, with free parking and easy access to top attractions, getting around is a breeze. Whether you're into museums, music, markets, or just relaxing with a sweet tea in hand, Raleigh offers a little bit of everything. And this four-night getaway is the perfect chance to enjoy it all.
