Are the itineraries for your tours flexible?
We enjoy being adaptable and adjusting to what our visitors seem to enjoy the most.
It is frequently easy to spend more time at one location than another, take a short diversion to check out a store you've heard of, or have an unplanned coffee break. There are certain restrictions, though.
If you want to spend more time somewhere or add an additional activity or visit, changing your plan usually means skipping something else.
The flexibility of your tour may be constrained by the requirement to respect designated entrance times when tickets have been reserved for your initial activity.
In what language will the tour be conducted?
The tour will be done in the language you chose during the booking process if you need to change this do not hesitate to contact us. We will gladly change that for you.
When is the ideal moment to begin a tour?
Depending on the tour, for city tours the earliest in the morning, the better. In any case all of our tours have been carefully crafted to work perfectly so, if we offer a starting time is because we know the Tour will work.
Are tickets included? Do we have to buy them beforehand?
For Tours that include tickets you do not need to buy anything, we will take care of that for you. If you intend to visit a not included attraction during the tour please inform your tour guide so the tour is adapted to your needs. We recommend visiting non included attractions before or after the Tour.
Is it possible to reschedule in case of rain or bad weather?
You can reschedule up to 24 hours before the tour, but we do go out on rainy days.
Only in severe weather and for those on boats we may cancel or postpone tours.
Do you accept wheelchairs? What about those who have trouble walking?
We do, but each itinerary's accessibility requirements vary greatly; for more information, see the tour description and if you decide to proceed please inform your tour guide about this.
Occasionally, due to walking difficulties or wheelchair usage, we may need to shorten the route in order to adhere to the allotted number of hours.
Our schedules are intended for travelers who have no physical limitations and move slowly yet steadily. In any case, you can always make arrangements with your guide for covering wider distances on different means of transportation such as Taxis.
Do you plan for bathroom stops? Can we stop at a gift shop if we want?
In general, we schedule two or three toilet stops for full days and one pause for half day tours.
Ask your guide if you need more than that.
While it's usually simple to improvise a brief stop at one gift store at some point, we don't particularly arrange for gift-shop visits throughout our trips. Please be aware that excessive pauses or ones that are too lengthy will affect the pace and time of the itinerary, requiring your guide to cut or speed up the route.
Do you have experience with cruise passengers?
We have a great deal of experience with cruise guests. If needed you can arrange with your Tour Guide a pickup service from the port.

Every tour is different, that will depend on the experience you booked for, that information is displayed on the booking website and on your reservation.
