  • Most locations require reservations, so be sure to book your time slot in advance.
  • Dress appropriately by wearing close-toed shoes, pants, shorts and shirts. If you have long hair, bring a hair tie to pull it back.
  • If you’d like to bring a GoPro, be sure to verify that it’s permitted by the operator. Keep in mind that some locations may offer photography services during your tour.
