ACTIVITY LEVEL RATINGS EXPLAINED

Please be aware that all our tours involve a certain degree of walking – on inclines, various types of terrain and up and down steps . While we always move at a considered pace and allow time for pauses and discussion, a basic level of mobility and fitness is important to fully enjoy the experience. These journeys are not only about reaching remarkable sites but also about savouring the atmosphere along the way—something best appreciated when one feels at ease with the walking involved.

Cultural sites can vary considerably in their physical demands. A leisurely visit to an art gallery, for example, differs significantly from exploring ancient hilltop ruins or navigating medieval cobblestone streets. To help you decide which tour is appropriate for you, we have developed a grading system. Many of you have travelled extensively and have a clear understanding of your own capabilities and preferences. These guidelines are simply to help you make informed decisions about your participation in various activities. Whether you relish the challenge of climbing to a mountaintop monastery or prefer the comfort of exploring world-class museums, our tours offer rewarding cultural experiences for every preference and ability level.
