How much walking is involved in this tour? I'm a slow senior who is a slow walker and unable to handle a 3 hour walking tour but am interested in these countries.

This holiday requires a good degree of Mobility. Our holidays are designed to see as much as a destination as possible. To get the most our of a Just you holiday we ask that you can walk up to mile continually and keep up with the pace of the group. We also ask that you can board a coach unassisted and climb stairs unaided. The excursions will not be a hike and there will be stops to admire the surroundings but there maybe uneven ground and steps.

Great trip to the JY Italian holiday of Puglia! It was a brilliant trip, rural Italy at its very best, with a different slant to Italy. Great itinerary! Highlights definitely included Matera, Ostuni, Alberobello, and Lecce (optional and well worth it!). We visited two exceptional masserias where the food was wonderful! The accommodation at Hotel Sierra Silvana in Selva di Fasano was lovely (great pool again with nice food), set in an ideal quiet location. Always make the difference when you have a great mix of a nice group of people, as well as a great tour guide (Sarah) who was fantastic, patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and super organised! We all had a great time together. If you’re considering this trip, don’t hesitate, I would absolutely recommend it.Show more
