When considering our travel itineraries, it's essential to understand the physical demands of each tour.

Our trips are categorized by Activity Level to help you select an experience that aligns with your fitness and comfort levels.

Level 1: Leisurely

This tour is designed for physical relaxation and mental stimulation, consisting of more sedentary activities such as sightseeing on the bus or time spent in a class or lecture. Travelers should still be able to walk unassisted at a relaxed pace for up to 1-2 hours, over possibly uneven terrain such as cobblestones. Travelers need to be able to handle their luggage over short distances and possibly up a flight of stairs unassisted. There may be a few early morning starts and late day finishes.

Level 2: Moderate

This is the majority of our tours, with a balance of time spent on sedentary activities, such as sightseeing on the bus and attending classes or lectures, and physical exertion. The more strenuous activities, such as hiking, horseback riding, kayaking, and paragliding, are often optional with other less exerting activities or free time, which makes this tour suitable for most fitness levels. Travelers participating in the more strenuous activities need to be able to walk up to 3-4 miles, or 2-3 hours, over uneven, sometimes hilly terrain with a day pack. There will be some early morning starts and late day finishes.

Level 3: Expedition

This trip is for those that already lead an active life and are looking for outdoor adventure. Some activities may be strenuous and require advance preparatory training, but may also be optional. Travelers need to be able to walk over 4 miles or over 4 hours, over uneven and at times steep terrain, at possibly high altitudes (greater than 8,000 feet), carrying a day pack. Travelers need to be prepared for variable weather. Days may be full, with early morning starts and late day finishes.
