*Note: Where it's noted
above, about where the tour starts and ends - that's means for the entire tour itself.
But since our cam is always running, it will start for you wherever the tour
is at when you join it. But no worry, you will still see the entire tour as
long as you stay with it. The full tour takes just over 12 minutes to see,
and it's worth every minute!
