Creator's Key Takeaways

the purpose of this video is to help you decide if our style of travel is right for you

the buses are really I think probably different than other tours because we use a full-size bus but we only have a maximum of 28 people on it

the food on this tour is fantastic so you certainly need to pack your your fat clothes

the small groups are an absolute cornerstone and we wouldn't be able to be as effective with a larger group

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack light with a carry-on and backpack only
Bring comfortable shoes for extensive walking
Be in reasonably good physical condition for the tour

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Too much bus timeThe buses are comfortable with frequent rest stops and scenic routes
Packing too muchPack light with only what you really need
Physical demands of walkingBe in reasonably good shape but you don't need to be an athlete
