Dress for fun! Probably not a good idea to wear those red sole Jimmy Choo sandals, but everyday flip-flops or sandals are perfect. Watch out for water/splashes, the floor might get wet. Dress for comfort and remember it can get chilly, so grab a jacket, especially in the evening.
WEATHER: We keep a close eye on the forecast and will determine if the weather is too nasty for your tour. A little rain may not stop us, but certainly, lightning or severe weather will. We are here to help you have a lot of fun.
