To help you decide which is the right tour for you, we have developed an easy grading system for every one of our tours. It is easy to see which of our tours are Fully Inclusive and which are Flexible, it is clearly indicated, and we also let you know the fitness level required – there are Comfortable, Moderate and Active gradings.
Our Comfortable-paced tours are accessible to people with an average level of fitness and normal mobility. Comfortable-paced tours may involve sightseeing on foot, some climbing of stairs and getting on and off boats.
Our Moderate paced tours require a higher level of fitness and may include standard activities and longer periods of sightseeing. Easy walking, high altitude and overnight train journeys may feature on these tours.
Our Active-paced tour require a good level of fitness as they are physically more demanding. They may involve hiking over more difficult terrain, travel to remote or high altitude areas where tourist facilities are less developed.
A reasonable level of fitness is required but it's more about spending time on your feet rather than covering large distances. You'll be getting on and off coaches and boats, walking around the sights and climbing some steps.
A good level of fitness is required as you need to be comfortable walking for 2-3 hours and covering longer distances. Other activities such as cycling will be at a gentle pace and will involve straightforward terrain.
You'll need to be fit and adventurous to participate in these tours as on some days you will be active for most of the day. The terrain may be more challenging and the activities more physically demanding.
