Insider notes
Because this is a private tour, the exact route and stop durations may vary according to guest interests, traffic conditions, and seasonal factors. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended, as many village streets are paved with stone and may include steps or uneven surfaces. Bringing sun protection is advisable, especially during the warmer months when much of the sightseeing takes place outdoors. Cruise passengers should provide arrival and departure details in advance to help coordinate timing effectively.
