      None of the activities featured in this trip require special training or skills, just a reasonable level of fitness and a willingness to participate. Cobblestones and uneven roads are common and you may be required to walk in hot and humid conditions. One thing to note is some travel days will be long, reaching up to 8 hours. Occasional breaks are built in to help reduce the long travel times but it is something to note.

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten November 2024

      A single supplement is available for €760 if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights on your trip and is subject to availability.

      Angela

      TravelerWritten November 2024

      Unfortunately 760 EUR for a single room is too expansive for me and I can't share a room with other participants. I'll plan another trip this time.

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten November 2024

      This is the contractual rates we have received from our suppliers, and unfortunately we are not able to negotiate on this.
