Hi there!
This is Hawk and I'd like to address a 3rd frequently asked question: IS THE TOUR ACCESSIBLE?
Regrettably, no, it isn't. We will be using a small school bus for the Rochester Tour and I'm still not sure what we'll be taking out to Mantorville. We will be hopping off the bus at two stops during the Rochester Tour (optional) and the second one has a lot of walking involved. The Mantorville Tour is a walking tour, but Mantorville isn't large. The issue is that the buildings we enter are very old and not accessible. There are steps to enter. Please note that in most places in Mantorville, there is a place to sit. This is not true in all the locations, however.
Having said this, it hasn't stopped some folks on crutches throughout the years, but that is their choice and they take on all risk. Also, we've had folks who can manage the bus stairs but who chose to stay on the bus all night during the Rochester Tour. This is also an option. No one is required to hop off at our two stops. I hope this is helpful!
