Asked on August 19th, 2023What is the level of activity is this tour is it suitable for someone with a cane
TrafalgarOperator•Written August 2023This trip is an "Active" lifestyle itinerary, with walks and hikes most days. Hikes will range from very gentle to strenuous. No technical climbing skills are required, but a reasonable level of fitness is recommended. It may not be suitable for a person with a cane since there will be hiking on this particular trip.

Traveler•Written August 2023Any similar tours that include monument valley & new mexico
- TrafalgarOperator•Written August 2023
We have a "Colourful Trails of the Southwest" tour that includes Monument Valley and New Mexico. The level of this trip is "balanced". It means there will be medium distance and some uneven surfaces, 1-3 miles of walking per day.

Asked on February 18th, 2022I am interested in what the difference is between tour ID and tour ID. The written itinerary is the same for both but the map is different. The trip dates are also the same.
- TrafalgarOperator•Written February 2022
For the two tours codes you mentioned, they are exactly the same tours however one is the 2022 departures and one is 2022/2023. The itineraries are exactly the same.
