If sufficient numbers are not met, these excursions may not take place, or optional tour/activity prices, content, and vehicles used may vary based on the number of participants. Additionally, the dates and times of optional tours/activities may be changed by the guide depending on whether museums, historical sites, or venues in the destination are open or closed, and weather conditions.
