Practical advice
- Some of these offer free cancellation, which is worth checking before you commit to one that doesn't.
- 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.
