  • L

    Laura

    Asked on November 13th, 2025

    My question is about the amount of walking involved in your tours. I would expect alot of it would be walking around the various cities, but can you estimate approximate amounts of walking in a day. I'm asking because I've had knee replacements (2020), and it's not that I can't walk, but my pace is not as fast as it was, & I'm concerned about keeping up. Also, many of the cities we've visited have alot of up and downhill streets. I may be overthinking this, since I'm sure you've had range of people on your tours.

    Travel Support
    • Adventure Bound LTDOperatorWritten November 2025

      We always keep a comfortable, inclusive pace so you should have no difficulty keeping up. Despite your knee replacements (2020) and your concerns about walking pace, the walking on this tour is not difficult.

      Tara

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      I would join in from day 4, so there should be deduction for costs om day 1,2 and 3. Would that then be 135 EUR? If so, would the total be €1750-€135 (deduction)-€70 (shorter tour) + 490 (single rooms) = €2035?

    • Adventure Bound LTDOperatorWritten May 2025

      Yes, that is correct if you join on Day 4
