Americans have New Folder (2014)developed a real obsession with Brexit, at least since they started seeing Nigel Farage popping up everywhere.
Interest is so high that the New York Times(!) is now 'offering' an elite "Brexit means Brexit!" (sic) tour at the modest, totally affordable cost of $5,995 (with a deposit of $500).

Guests will be treated to cultural highlights of London including afternoon tea -- complete with scones and clotted cream -- and "a typical pub lunch and a pint at a local pub frequented by members of Parliament."
They will also take a walking tour of Westminster with a graduate from LSE, attend a talk on British foreign affairs and discuss "the U.K.’s trade, political and defense policies with Europe and the rest of the world."
The last day is dedicated to a discussion of the legal implications of Brexit in the Magna Carta room at the British Library.
It's certainly a culturally and intellectually exhaustive tour, but here are 9 things about it that must be considered:

Conversely, all the places listed above voted Leave. Perhaps they're worth considering for a Brexit tour?
