How fit should I be to embark on a multi-active tour? 

Now, let's talk about inclusivity. Our multi-active adventure tours aren't made for seasoned athletes; they're designed for everyone—from the keen cyclist to the leisurely stroller.  

We believe that age and fitness levels shouldn't be barriers to exploration. Whether you're an energetic soul or someone who enjoys a more relaxed pace, our itineraries cater to the diverse needs of every traveler. It's not about pushing limits; it's about enjoying the adventure.
