My preferred tour time disappeared / my tour was cancelled?

​

If your preferred tour time has disappeared from the booking page, this means that tour has been cancelled as there were no confirmed attendees by the morning of the tour.

​

If for some reason a scheduled tour with confirmed bookings has been cancelled, you will automatically receive an email notification of the cancelled tour, and will automatically be sent a full refund for any tickets purchased. In this case you will have to book new tickets for another scheduled tour - we apologize for any inconvenience.

​

Will we be going to the smelter and/or slag heap?

​

We will be able to see the smelter from a viewpoint on the tour, but it is several km away and not included in the walking tour, which is through the downtown area only. Unfortunately we will not be able to see or visit the slag heap on the tour, however there will be exciting stories offered about both!
