I recommend you do it by email, it&#8217;s quick and easy. Places are now limited to 8 people per visit &#8211; so you will have a VIP visit under high sanitary measures. You will be required to wear a mask and will be provided with a hard hat, goggles, headphones and an employee will clean the handles and handrails along the way.
