Just booked the Myths, Legends and Tales of Old Monterey tour!

Hey everyone! I just snagged a spot for the Myths, Legends and Tales of Old Monterey tour for my parents' anniversary. They’re huge history buffs, and I think they’ll love hearing stories about Sloat's Landing and checking out those hidden adobes. I’m curious if anyone has tips on what to wear? Should they dress casually or is it more formal?
