Additional Notes

Remember, this is not a reservation, only a request.
After your request has been submitted and reviewed, you will be contacted,
either by phone or email, to finalize a date/time for your tour.
Tour requests should be made at least 1 month in advance.
Any tour requests made within 1 month of the requested tour date
may or may not be accommodated due to staff availability.
Signficant weather events, staff shortages, a change in terror threat levels, and
     other unforseen situations, may force a tour to be canceled with short notice.
     If this occurs we will do our best to reschedule for a later date. If a cancellation
     becomes necessary we will do our best to contact you as soon as possible,
     however we urge you to contact our office a day or two ahead of time to ensure
     your tour is still scheduled.
