Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
People should be aware that there is a fair amount of walking involved on stone, brick, and tile sidewalks that can be uneven. Also there are a number of inclines as part of the walking.
Everything was terrific. Would do this again. G
