For full meals organised by us, please let us know during the booking process of any requirements to make sure the menu is adapted to your dietary conditions.
While backpacks and small bags are no problem during day-trips, we ask you to leave your larger items stored at your accommodation or at luggage-storage spots in town. For multi-day tours, of course your luggage will travel with you as we move from town to town.
