DEPARTURE DATE:
Trips are "self-driven". That means they are not pre-organized group trips, but individual ones, so you can start on the date that is more convenient for you, no need to adapt to prefixed dates.

HOW MANY DAYS DOES A TOUR TAKE?
Actually our trips are not divided into days but we describe here the whole trips. You can divide any of them on your own as you like, or you can send us a request by email, and we will prepare a day-per-day version of it with all the required files: see below "ROADBOOK WITH CUSTOMIZED ITINERARY"
