Frequently asked questions about this tour
Is the route manageable with a buggy?
Large parts of the route are flat and well paved, so a buggy is usually not a problem. For the river ferry and a few lanes, we will agree on the exact route with you beforehand.
How long can children walk at a stretch?
The stages are deliberately kept short, with breaks for playing and asking questions. The pace is adapted to the group, not the other way around.
Is the river ferry crossing included in the price?
The ticket for the river ferry is not included in the guide’s fee and is paid directly on site.
