my husband and I are in our late 70s and early 80s. We walk 2 miles a day. Wondering if this would be too challenging for us?

This tour has a Level 2 physical demand - very easy, almost all fitness levels. must be able to walk short distances and go up and down stairs. I recommend looking at the full itinerary and then making your decisions :)
