Don’t tell me there’s nowhere to hang out in Downtown Kitchener; you just need to know where the action is!
We thrive on human interaction and connection, and we need more of it in our lives. You feel 10x better after meeting up with a friend, your partner, a colleague, or your parents, IRL! This fuel-focused walking tour highlights places to hang out, unwind, catch up, and fuel your need for connection with other. Indoors and outdoors, cozy corners and atmospheric undergrounds, Downtown Kitchener has space for every kind of connection – it just makes you feel damn good, and you should do it more often!
**Please note: These walking tours are geared for adults. This walking tour does not include food or drink sampling but you will get to meet some of the business owners and visit each location so you can return later.

Fuel for Connection Walking Tour Details
Thank You!
Of course, we have the obligatory Liability Waiver and Release form that must be signed by each person in advance of joining the walk. Why a waiver for a walking tour, you ask? Couldn’t get insurance without it. Stroll pays insurance… you sign the waiver.
A sense of curiosity, a few questions and a willingness to learn something you didn’t know before.
Of course, dress for the weather; bring a hat, water bottle, umbrella, solid walking shoes (no flip flops!) and anything else you need to be comfortable on the walk.
We walk rain or shine or snow!
However, we do heed storm watches and warnings and would never put you in danger. Stroll may cancel and reschedule a walk due to an issued weather advisory.
We don’t make scheduled bathroom breaks along the walking route. Please attend to personal needs before or after the walking tour.
Absolutely! The walking tour guides have chosen routes with the best possible accessibility in order to accommodate as many people as possible. However, construction happens and we do our best to re-route safely.
If you have any questions about the accessibility of a specific walk, please contact us in advance of booking.
We’ll say it again… Always arrive 10-15 minutes ahead of time! If you arrive exactly at departure time, you’re already late! If you arrive really late, your walking tour will have started without you. We start right on time so that we finish on time & respect the fact that people have things to do after the walking tour.
At the end of the walking tour, you’ll get a Downtown shopping & dining guide and a 2023 calendar of events taking place in DTK so you won’t miss all the cool things coming up and you can find all your new favourite locations!
