  • H

    Heather

    Asked on June 24th, 2025

    Is there a lot of walking etc.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten June 2025

      This itinerary requires a moderate level of fitness. Most days include city walking tours that last between 1.5 to 3 hours, often over cobblestone streets, uneven surfaces, and steps—especially when visiting historic sites like castles and old towns. Winter weather (snow, ice, cold) can also add to the challenge, so sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are important. While the pace is relaxed and there's free time built in, this tour is not recommended for travelers with limited mobility or those who need walking assistance, as many areas are not wheelchair accessible. Overall, if you're comfortable walking and standing for a few hours at a time, you should find the tour manageable and enjoyable.

      Charles

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      Can you give me an idea of the cost of museums and sights that are included in this tour? Do all excursions included on the tour require payment of some type? How many nights in each city? Regarding lunch and dinner. Will a guide help with options? Can I assume we will be with a guide during the daytime hours? Will we have every evening on our own (i.e., dinners)? What average level of walking is required?
