A: If it rains, they usually provide updates on cancellation or rescheduling. Just keep an eye on your email as the date gets closer. Also, I'd suggest wearing a waterproof jacket just in case!
A: The tour typically lasts about 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on how many questions and stops are made. It's a leisurely pace so you can really take in the sights! You can also check in with the guide about ending times if you're on a tight schedule.
