Know before you go

We offer this tour during the off-season period, from September 1 until March 25 of the following year. We recommend considering a tour before or after the high season, when it is not as hot or crowded, but all sights and attractions are still open. This is especially important for elderly people, who need to be cautious about sun exposure and high temperatures.
Cut-off period: your booking will be accepted if made at least 14 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 for you only, 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 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 customized to fit your travel plans, personal interests, and schedule.
During the tour, only breakfast is included. As a rule, we will stay in 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 or a coffee break.
Our prices include accommodation in 3-star hotels with breakfast, which are typically not located near historical centers with pedestrian streets. If you prefer better accommodation in terms of location and quality, please let us know.
