A: No specific age restrictions, but it's generally suitable for anyone 10 and up. Younger kids might get bored with the stories, though. Just keep in mind that it’s a walking tour, so be prepared for some walking! If you have a group with younger kids, consider if they can handle a longer walk.

Q: What happens if it rains? Do they cancel the tour?

A: They do run the tour rain or shine, but if the weather is severe, they may cancel it. You should check ahead of time if the forecast looks bad. It’s always a good idea to have an umbrella handy just in case!
