    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Explore!OperatorWritten April 2025

      This tour is rated as a Full on Pace. You can expect the tour to be packed with activities and experiences, moving on quickly from place to place with lots of early starts and long, busy days. Once we're in the cities our explorations are mostly done on foot, the terrain can be hilly and uneven so please bring sensible footwear and be prepared for the busy nature of this enthralling holiday. On these days you can expect 20,000-30,000 steps per day. A good level of fitness is recommended due to the amount of walking, hills and early starts. We generally do not recommend our tours for those with mobility issues. We do also use a variety of public transport and taxis on this tour and you would need to be responsible for carrying your own luggage.
