Book where the tour starts, not where the plants are. A guided day picks you up at one point and returns you there tired, twelve hours later.
Maintenance
Industrial tour operators: look up the site's own safety record before you go, and understand its shift pattern. Both are public, and both change what you notice.
Guides
Two-day itinerary built around industrial tour operators: buy the operator for the day you cannot arrange yourself, and do the rest alone. Two days, one guided.
Rules
