FAQ
Before you book.
Is the booking confirmed immediately?
No. The form sends a booking request. We confirm availability, meeting point and payment instructions separately.
Can you accommodate vegetarians?
Usually yes with advance notice. Vegan, halal, gluten-free and severe allergy requests must be reviewed before confirmation.
What happens if the shared tour has fewer than 3 guests?
We may offer another departure, a private option or a full refund according to the agreed booking terms.
How much walking is involved?
Expect roughly 2–3 kilometres at a comfortable pace, with frequent stops. Tell us about mobility needs in the form.
What if it rains?
Light rain usually does not stop the experience. We use covered alternatives where possible and contact guests if conditions are unsafe.
Where does the tour start?
The exact meeting point is shared after confirmation because routes can vary by time, weather and venue opening hours.
