Know before you go

  • We provide this tour year-round. We recommend taking it before or after the high season, when it is less hot and less crowded, while all sights and attractions are still open. This especially applies to elderly people, who need to be careful with sun exposure and high temperatures.
  • Cut-off period: your booking will be accepted if made at least 45 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 travelers as an exclusive solo tour. The tour will be only for you, without other travelers in the vehicle; the price for 1 person reflects this.
  • A single supplement is mandatory. Solo travelers must pay extra to have their private room, except when the tour is booked for 1 person.
  • This tour, like our other tours, is available in English and Spanish.
  • As a private tour, this tour can be customized to fit your travel plans, personal interests, and schedule.
  • Breakfast is included during the tour 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, enjoy the local cuisine.
  • Transportation is in a minivan with air conditioning and an English-speaking driver. Feel free to ask to stop whenever you need, whether for a nice photo opportunity or a coffee break.
  • Our prices include accommodations in 3-star hotels with breakfast, which are typically not near historical centers with pedestrian streets. If you prefer better accommodations in terms of location and quality, please let us know.
