Length of factory tour

[USMCRET]

I'm going to be in the area on Friday and would like to tour the factory. Trying to decide between morning or afternoon tours. Can someone tell me how long the tour takes?

Thanks!

Maybe close to 1 1/2 to two hours can brake for lunch and take the 1 PM tour for things you might have miss in morning tour.
Tour depends on how active of a group your in for questions and maybe picture taking of coach's being built.

Having made two visits a month apart, I'd recommend the morning tour which meets at 10 AM. Why? Because about 40% of the line will be shutting down about 2 PM and you'll see less.

It's also like watching a movie the second time, there will be things you'll see on a second visit you didn't notice or wasn't mentioned in the first.

Photos will only be allowed by individuals that are watching a coaching being assembled for them.

At one time tours also included a visit through the upholstery shop. However, because of an incident, tours of that area have ceased.

If you ever get near a Spartan or Freightliner plant, take that tour, too. It is enlightening.

Thanks for the insights! I'm a little disappointed to hear of the prohibition on picture taking though.
