This tour was mostly driving and not a lot of walking, although we did stop and get out at various sites. If there was something special you wanted to see in the vicinity, I would imagine they would take you if everybody in the group was interested. The other thing I liked is the driver was amenable to dropping us off at the restaurant of our choice.”
