Practical advice

  • Free cancellation on all of these, so it's safe to book now and adjust your plans later.
  • A few of these tend to sell out fast, so if your dates are set, it's worth booking a few days ahead.
  • Plan for anywhere from 1.8 hr to 5 hr, depending which one you pick, and factor that into the rest of your day.
