Common Questions

What's the smallest group you'll host?
Eight guests is our minimum for most private experiences. For groups of 1 to 7, we recommend joining one of our public tours.
How far in advance should we book?
As far in advance as possible, especially for spring and fall weekends. We'll always try to accommodate shorter timelines, but the most popular dates fill first.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes. Private events are designed around your group, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, halal, kosher, and severe allergies can all be coordinated. Tell us in the inquiry.
What's actually included in the per-person price?
Food, drink, and gratuities are bundled into one price. Pick a beer, wine, or top-shelf liquor package, and we work it into the rate. No surprise add-ons.
What happens if it rains?
We tour rain or shine. Stops are close together, and most formats include indoor seating. We've never canceled a private event for weather.
Are corporate teams welcome on this page, or is that separate?
For corporate teams and conferences, see Corporate Events. The format is the same; the page is structured around the questions corporate planners tend to ask.
