- Meals: You’re fed well –
- 16 breakfasts
- 15 lunches
- 16 dinners
Expect minimal need to buy food unless you want extras.
- Flights: International flights included, with current taxes factored in – no surprise airport fees.
- Accommodation: 16 nights in 4-star hotels – so, solid comfort, but not luxury.
- Group Tour: Capped at 18 people – small enough to avoid feeling like cattle, big enough for social interaction.
- Physical Rating 1: Very light – occasional walking and steps, but nothing intense. If you can handle a museum visit or a city stroll, you’re fine.
