Tour Highlights:
There is about 2 miles of walking uphill at a very leisurely pace. There may be short flights of
stairs throughout the tour, both up and down. If mobility is an issue, please inquire about a
private tour.
Yes. Please dress accordingly.
It is important to arrive at the tour starting location at least 10-15 minutes prior to the
start time, as we do start the tour promptly. It would be unfair for the others if we need to
wait for those that are late. We cannot guarantee you’ll be able to find your tour group if you
are late.
About half-way through the tour there is a short break when you can purchase food or drink and
when the tour ends you will be near other food options.
Tips are always appreciated by our guides, but never expected. They should be given if you believe
your guide did an outstanding job, and further, if you as an individual want to demonstrate your
appreciation to the guide for that job well done.
