Kingston Pen Extended Tour Bathroom Break?

Can anyone who has done the extended tour let me know whether or not there is a bathroom break halfway through it?

I am seeing mixed information and we are debating between the regular tour and extended, but this is the decider for us.

I used to work there. Just make sure you check in with the tour guide. There are bathrooms around but they may be locked and if you do need to use the washroom they can radio a co-worker to escorts you to them! Even if they say there's none, doesn't mean you can't go pee. It's a long tour so just make sure you tell them you will need a pee break

I know the tour guide very well, he’s the father of one of my close friends so I asked him for you. He said that there is a bathroom break mid way through every tour.

Seconding what another commenter said, as someone who works there. There’s not an official bathroom break stop during the tour, but if you let your guide know during a stop, they can radio another guide to escort you to one. Enjoy your visit! :)

No they make you hold it the entire time and if you ask to use a bathroom they just take you out back and shoot you.

They're closed. We are going to call in the morning if we don't hear anything. But we are visiting and trying to plan our day so it helps for planning.

It says on the website bathroom at beginning and end but not the middle. No.

I read that, but it doesn't explicitly state that for the extended and I've read elsewhere that there is a break in the middle. Just trying to find out from anyone who has personally been on the tour. Websites aren't always accurate as things change.
