Tips & Advice

  • Arrive 15 to 20 minutes before departure, as the vehicle leaves on time and late arrivals cannot join.
  • Dress warmly and wear comfortable walking shoes suitable for an hour-long walk along uneven sidewalks and slight inclines.
  • Parents traveling with babies should bring a baby carrier instead of a stroller, which can be hard to maneuver through crowded residential sidewalks.
