    Traveler•Written May 2025

    I am scared of heights and steep hills. Are any of the activities involved such scenarios? How about the optionals?
  • 

    Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written May 2025

    Optional excursions can be booked while on tour with your Tour Leader. These can be paid for in cash or by card. We recommend using public transport for airport-to-hotel transportation. Tours don't usually involve extreme heights or steep hills as part of core itinerary. Some walking tours might take you through older cities with uneven cobblestone streets, gentle inclines, and steps. If you're scared of heights, you should be okay for most of the tour. It's perfectly okay to skip certain segments if they don't feel right for you.
