      TravelerWritten December 2024

      Can you give me an idea of the cost of museums and sights that are included in this tour? Do all excursions included on the tour require payment of some type? How many nights in each city? Regarding lunch and dinner. Will a guide help with options? Can I assume we will be with a guide during the daytime hours? Will we have every evening on our own (i.e., dinners)? What average level of walking is required?
