TRIP ACTIVITY LEVELS

To ensure that travelers are able to select a program best suited to their capabilities, we label each itinerary with an activity level according to standards of physical difficulty, on a scale of 1 to 5 (level 5 being the most difficult). The main criteria for a rating level includes the amount of walking or hiking, the degree of difficulty (conditions), the duration, and expected weather conditions. These are general guidelines, so participants should read the itinerary descriptions carefully and consult with our representatives if they have any concerns.

1 EASY

Participants should be able to walk at least 1-2 hours without difficulty, including over uneven, potentially slippery surfaces, and ascend or descend 25 stairs consecutively. Physical activities typically last at least 1-2 hours at a time.

5 STRENUOUS
