Q: Can I bring my child on the tour? Is it accessible for strollers?
A: We cannot accommodate young children on the van based tours since the van is not equipped to accept children’s car seats but we have had customers who choose to drive themselves and follow the van. Parents, who know their children best, should assess the situation individually as to whether the tour is appropriate for their child. Please email us if you have questions.
