What makes this tour different from other group tours?
It is about you and what you want to see and do, no long drawn out hotel pick up runs, no waiting for other tardy people, no going to places with queues for queue sakes, only go where you want to go, see what you want to see at your own pace. You even control the music temperature and chat level
Can I mix and match different types of activities?
Absolutely, maybe a a few short scenic waterfall or lookout views followed by a swim at a beach in the morining, with lunch at a winery, followed by a sculpture trail and beer tasing the the afternoon finishing by seeing the magnificent gannet colony...or something else
What if the weather changes our plans?
There are so many options, some of the sights and just manificent in a storm, and there are plenty of indoor attractions
Where does the tour start and end?
Tour starts and finishes at your hotel / cruise ship (or agreed pick up point) unless you want to kick on at an exciting venue somewhere else
Can you accommodate dietary or accessibility needs?
