We are small groups, and a LOW-RISK environment not like theme parks or major sporting event. We have always specialized in groups of 6 or less. As always we have cleaned and disinfected our equipment before each use. This is an industry standard and will always be enforced by our staff. All tours are running on time and we our receiving more bookings because of our small group settings.
Please keep in mind that if you have any health problems, please consider setting this tour to the side. We will be in the sun for the most part, and the cooler months can be a bit chilly. If you have any allergies please reach out to our staff before making reservations to discuss your options. We want everyone to have a great time and to enjoy yourselves , but if your health ( respiratory, heart and or skin conditions, ect) could be compromised please reconsider these tours.
