      TravelerWritten May 2024

      My question is regarding regular start times on those days that it DOESN'T indicate "relaxed morning" start. I don't want to experience waking up at 6:00-6:30 am. Please advice.

      While we cannot provide an exact start time for the tour, we can give you an approximate timeframe. The start time varies depending on the hotel accommodation, with breakfast typically scheduled between 6:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. You can expect to depart the hotel around 9:00 a.m. to continue the tour or participate in optional experiences.
