Also in the tour description, it was said that we are going to cross the border to Ontario. Are we crossing the US border to Canada? Should we apply for a visa, then?

    Asked on October 1st, 2016

    What is the minimum age requirement for this tour?

    Age Range
    • CosmosOperatorWritten October 2016

      The minimum age for a person to join a group bus tour is 5 years old. The reason behind this policy by the different operators is mainly the tight schedule of these tours, plus the long rides, which makes it usually difficult for younger children to be able to follow and in the end enjoy the tour.

    Asked on July 1st, 2016

    • CosmosOperatorWritten July 2016
