Travel comfort
What the walking is like
The itinerary includes walking, cobbled streets, steps, uneven surfaces and journeys between cities. Some parts of the tour may therefore be tiring for children under four and travellers who have difficulty walking. Using a stroller may also make getting around some locations more challenging for parents.
If you are travelling with a young child or a stroller, or need additional support when getting around, please contact us before booking. Together, we can discuss whether the itinerary suits your needs.
