ARE THERE AGE RESTRICTIONS?Children are welcome, but please bear in mind that some children have a limited attention span and therefore a 3 hour tour may not be appropriate for them. Parents know their children best and should assess the situation individually. Since there is a lot of standing and walking, please consider this when deciding whether the tours and events are appropriate for your child. Unless your child is a very good walker for children up to 5 y.o we do recommend a stroller in case they get tired since we are walking about 2.1 km, which includes a slight hill. If your child is 2 years of age or younger and will not be eating, you will not need to purchase a ticket for him/her. If your child is 3 years of age or older, you will need to purchase a child ticket for him/her, regardless if he/she will be eating.
No health restrictions
