ACTIVITY LEVEL RATINGS EXPLAINED
While many sites have easy-to-navigate paved paths and handrails, others offer a more adventurous journey. You might explore on unpaved, uneven ground, navigate rocky terrain and irregular steps. Our grading system is designed to help you choose the right tour for you but if you have concerns about your fitness do give us a call and we will be happy to advise.
2025 TOURS
Level 1 – Gentle
A tour that is determined as gentle will have a relaxed pace, with little walking and less exertion where travel and day length are concerned.
Level 2 – Light
On light tours, anticipate mild walking with a mostly relaxed pace. There will be more visits and travelling than on our gentle tours, but not by much.
Level 3 – Moderate
A decent level of fitness is required for our moderate tours. There could be walking between sites, more standing and more travelling to encounter.
Level 4 – Active
If you choose an active tour, come prepared for longer days – and ones that fit more in. More walking, bigger distances covered and more energy!
Level 5 – Challenging
For challenging tours, you’ll need to be physically fit. Days could include long drives, hikes and multiple visits, meaning they’ll be lengthy and tiring.
