Know before you go

We provide this tour during the off-season period, from September 1 until March 22 of the following year. We recommend considering this tour before or after the high season, when it is not so hot or crowded, but all sights and attractions are already open or still available. This especially applies to elderly people who need to be careful about sun exposure and high temperatures.
Cut-off period: your booking will be accepted if it is made at least 30 days before the tour starts.
This is a private tour. Only your group will participate.
This tour accepts a minimum of 1 person and a maximum of 5 people.
This tour is available for solo travellers as an exclusive solo tour. The tour will be for you only, without other travellers in the vehicle; the price for 1 person reflects this.
A single supplement is mandatory; solo travellers must pay extra to have their own private room, except when the tour is booked for 1 person.
This tour, as well as our other tours, is available in English and Spanish.
As a private tour, this tour can be customised to fit your travel plans, personal interests, and schedule.
The tour includes breakfast only. As a rule, we will stay at each place of accommodation for only 1 night, so it makes no sense to pay for lunch and dinner there. Instead, let's enjoy local cuisine.
Transportation is provided in a minivan with air conditioning and an English-speaking driver. Feel free to ask to stop whenever you need for a nice photo or coffee break.
Our prices include accommodation in 3-star hotels with breakfast, which are typically not located near historical centres with pedestrian streets. If you prefer better accommodation in terms of location and quality, please let us know.
