Amelia
Asked on February 21st, 2025Provide details of accommodation and number of nights in a hotel/ferry. I'm 73 yr old with minor limitations on mobility (using a cane as needed). Will this trip have a lot of walking on steep hills, mountains, trails. I'm wanting solo accommodation.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written February 2025
We understand your concern about the tour's pace and walking involved. Cities have historic areas with cobblestone streets, steps, and uneven terrain. Walking tours can last up to three hours and require carrying your own luggage. Potential challenges include: high steps on coaches, long walking tours, cobblestone streets, restricted bathroom access, long periods without stops, and strict time schedules.
- J
Jacqueline
Asked on February 20th, 2025What are the accommodations on the overnight ferries? Are airport transfers included in this tour?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written February 2025
We can no longer assist with transfers. We recommend using public transport for airport-to-hotel transportation. If you prefer a transfer service, you can easily book through Welcome Pickups, a user-friendly platform with competitive prices. For the overnight ferries, the accommodations will be in a typical twin-share cabin.
