Activity levels

Light: Shorter travelling days and walking mainly on well-maintained paths. You’ll still need to be comfortable walking around the places we visit, including some steps and inclines.

Moderate: A reasonable level of fitness is needed for varied terrain, some steeper ground and longer days.

Active: A good level of fitness is needed. These holidays can involve difficult terrain, higher altitude and long days.

The terrain and daily walking distance, the number of hotel changes, how long the days run and how much time is spent travelling between sites. The rating reflects the holiday as a whole, rather than any single walk.

Yes. Walking is part of exploring the sites, gardens and buildings we visit. Light tours generally involve shorter distances and easier paths but can still include steps or uneven surfaces. Check the individual itinerary for details.

Have a chat with us before you book. Fitness is part of the picture, but so is how comfortable you feel with steps, heat, uneven ground or longer periods on your feet. Our team can talk you through the itinerary and help you decide whether it suits you.

It may be possible to sit out a more demanding visit, depending on the itinerary and practical arrangements. Please speak to us before booking if this is something you might need, so we can explain the options for your chosen holiday.
