What happens if I can’t make my tour?
Please note that due to high demand bookings are final and cancellations will not be eligible for a refund.
What happens if I am late for my tour?
The Tour will depart on time. If you arrive late, please report to Stage Door Concierge in the Pedestrian Tunnel, where staff will advise you how to join the Tour.
What can I bring with me on the tour?
Where possible, limit the bags you bring with you as cloaking facilities are limited. For safety, we suggest you wear flat, enclosed, rubber-soled shoes for this walking tour with steps.
