These are busy tours that feature a lot of moving around. Walking tours of cities are leisurely but you should be prepared to be on your feet for several hours. May include walking on uneven surfaces and steps, including boarding the coach.
We wish we could control the weather, but on the day this tour begins you can expect temperatures (°C) within this range:
Your (guide) was caring, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour. Our driver was helpful and very careful in his driving. They both ensured that all passengers were well looked after. They are a credit to your company. Valerie Cade - Regina, SK
