How much free time is there on tour?

Our itineraries are thoughtfully crafted to ensure you experience the best your destination has to offer, featuring both iconic attractions and unique local experiences. If having free time during your tour is essential to you, we recommend choosing a small group tour. These itineraries provide ample opportunities for exploration, whether it’s a couple of hours in the morning or afternoon or an entire day for you to enjoy as you please.

In contrast, our large group tours tend to be more fast-paced due to the higher number of travelers, which can result in longer transit times between locations. We strive to provide clear information about the amount of sightseeing planned for each day in our itineraries. To help you determine if a tour fits your preferences, please review the fitness ratings available on the deal page.

Typically, a day filled with scheduled sightseeing begins between 7 AM and 8 AM, with a return to your hotel around 5 PM to 6 PM. On days involving long drives between cities, you should anticipate longer days. We understand the importance of rest, so if you wish to skip any scheduled sightseeing, you are welcome to do so. However, please note that missed sightseeing will not qualify for a refund, and you must inform your tour leader.

During designated free time, we encourage you to consult with your tour leader for recommendations on activities in the area and guidance on navigating local transportation.
