## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- You do not need a tour to enter the honky tonks: most charge no cover and let you walk in.
- A party bus or party tractor is a ride with music; it does not take you inside the bars. A walking crawl does.
- A cheaper tour is not always cheaper: drinks, tips and sometimes cover are extra on most tours.
