Smoking is not allowed on all vehicles.

Ages vary, but for the most part travellers tend to be between 45 – 70 years old, with adequate health and ability to walk several miles a day. We take everything at an enjoyable and relaxing pace, but there is just so much to see, do, and explore that you should expect to be active during most of the day.

There is some free-time built into the schedule within each city so you have time to explore on your own, or rest up for the next great adventure, as you choose. One of the advantages of such a small group size is it allows for more or less free-time to fluctuate based on the interests and needs of the group. We still have a lot of wonderful activities planned each day too, so you won’t need to worry about a lack of things to enjoy.

Flights are not included in our tours. You will need to get yourself to the starting point for the tour, and back from one of our drop-off points at the end. We suggest checking the website of your favourite airline or comparing flight options on Skyscanner.net.
