Know before you go: We provide this tour during the off-season period, from September 1 until March 21 of the following year. We recommend considering a tour before or after the high season, when it is not so hot and not so crowded, but all the sights and attractions are already or still open. This especially applies to elderly people, who need to be careful with sun exposure and high temperatures.; Cut-off period: your booking will be accepted only if there are no fewer than 30 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, and the price for 1 person reflects this.; 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.; During the tour, breakfast only is included. As a rule, we are going to stay in each place of accommodation for only 1 night, so it makes no sense to pay there for lunch and dinner. 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, whether for a nice image or a coffee break.; Our prices include accommodation in 3-star hotels with breakfast, which are typically not near historical centers with pedestrian streets. If you prefer better accommodation in terms of location and quality, please let us know.
