Tips & Advice

  • Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the tour covers roughly 1 to 1.5 miles and involves standing and walking across uneven terrain.
  • Use the restroom at the Bulldog Tours office before the tour begins, as guides do not interrupt the walk for bathroom breaks.
  • Book tickets well in advance, as tour groups are capped at 20 people and frequently sell out.
