Know before you go

We provide this tour during the off-season period, from September 1 until March 27 of next year. We recommend that you consider taking the tour before or after the high season, when it is not as hot and not as crowded, but all the sights and attractions are still open or accessible. This is especially true for elderly individuals, who need to be cautious about sun exposure and high temperatures.
Cut-off period: your booking will be accepted if made at least 7 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 exclusively 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.
The tour includes breakfast only. As a rule, we will stay at each accommodation for only 1 night, so it does not make sense to pay for lunch and dinner there. Instead, let's 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, for a nice photo opportunity or coffee break.
Our prices include accommodations in 3-star hotels with breakfast, which are typically not located near historical centers with pedestrian streets. If you prefer better accommodations in terms of location and quality, please let us know.
