    Reply from: Traventuria
    Dear Linda, Thank you for your feedback. I am happy to read the tour has been enjoyable to you. Different people have different perception of what is easy, moderate or difficult. In general we avoid using such terms for the above reasons. This is why for each day of the program we have provided also the hiking specifics (incl. mileage, altitude overcome etc.) so that everyone can decide if the tour difficulty is up to their expectations and abilities or not. We hope to be of your service again in the future. Best regards, Traventuria Team
