      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.

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.
