Why is there a short version?
Jolly good question, old chap! It appears there's a rather persistent myth floating about, suggesting that one's concentration can endure throughout the entirety of the day. Quite preposterous, I must say! And as for the notion that gallivanting about and acquiring new knowledge is not the least bit tiring, well, that's simply a load of codswallop. Fear not, for our dear friend Kim is well aware of this little nuance.
Instead of subjecting you to the arduous task of perusing a lengthy exposition, Kim, in her infinite wisdom, has graciously deemed it fit to offer you the option of taking things a tad more leisurely when the need arises. After all, she would much prefer you reach the grand finale of the tale rather than be bogged down by the minutiae of the extended version. Quite the considerate approach, wouldn't you agree?
Exactly. Thank you for calling me wise. Travelling and learning new things can be exhausting. Therefore, I wanted to give you the option to switch to a short version when it's becoming a bit much. Since I would rather have you finish the story rather than reading the long version.
Are these tours suitable for all age groups?
Quite so! Most tours are fashioned to cater to a plethora of audiences. However, younger participants might necessitate a modicum of assistance contingent on their age and sagacity. And make sure to check for the tours with a minimum age.

Are Kim and Mr. Sterces real?
Yes!
No, Mr. Sterces is not real. Sterces = Secrets backwards. Kim is the owner of the company.
WHAT? My life is a lie? Don’t tell Mrs. Sterces...
Also, does that mean Kim is talking to herself all this time?
