2 days.
Suitable for most fitness levels; includes moderate walking on uneven cobbles and stairs.
Meals are not included; accommodation is provided with breakfast depending on the hotel, but plan for lunch and dinner independently.
Reserved seats are included but not guaranteed together — seating is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis when boarding.
Train and hotel tickets are e-tickets viewable on your phone, but the open-top bus requires a printed ticket; bring both digital and printed copies to be safe.
This is an unescorted package; you receive tickets, reservations and accommodation but no guide leading the itinerary.
