Asked on May 23rd, 2024How strenuous are the walking tours?
- McKinlay KiddOperator•Written May 2024
The walking tours on this are moderate, and are taken at a leisurely pace. If there are any specific walks that you do not feel up to doing, then you are more than welcome to sit it out either on the bus or nearby. Our guides are extremely helpful and accommodating if there is ever a time you need a little assistance they are more than happy to help. It would be helpful to us if we knew in advance of any walking difficulties or if a guest walks with aids.
