Are the circuits in English? Do you have audio guides?

The tour is in English with an option to download the audio guide app on Google Play store or the Apple store or we can send an audio guide link to you once booked to download this.

Can you also help with booking the outbound and return flights?

We can only help book the tour for you. We do not provide quotes for flights and accommodation.

Is the map on this tour listing accurate? It looks like we would take the same route back but the itinerary sounds different than what the map shows. Also, are there any luggage requirements? If so, are there options to store additional luggage somewhere? In addition, what are the room accommodations at the b&b? Do we share rooms or have our own?

It would be a different route back as different itinerary. There is no option to store luggage at check in or with us on tour. You can take up to 1 medium sized suitcase per person on tour up to 15kg. It would be in multi share hostel dorm accommodations, but there may be an option for a twin room b&b.

I will be looking at July 6,2025 thru July 8 2025. Are those dates available. Or when will I be able to book this?

Please keep checking back with us as it is not available as yet for these dates.

  Just to double confirm, the attached map from the tour listing is not correct then, right?

  I think the interactive map is a bit glitchy on Tour Radar. Please see it better on our website.
