It was a fascinating tour and the pace was more relaxed than my previous tours. If you take this tour, I advise you to prepare for some uphill walking.
If you choose this trip, you're in for some wonderful food and very interesting history lessons... not to mention beautiful views and friendly people.

Two days of long bus ride going from town to town was too much to bear. For these long trips not even a bottle of water was provided.
The attitude of TD was less than satisfactory.

The hotels we stayed in was not close to the city centers. I travelled with Travalgar to Italy and all the hotels we stayed in was close/ a doable walking distance from the city centers and expected it be like this, but it wasn't.
