How physically demanding are the tours?
This depends on the itinerary you choose. With the exception of the Tibet Discovery, the tours are not very physically demanding. There is a fairly good mixture of guided programs and free time. Of course there is some walking; however, we do our best to offer reasonable options for rest and relaxation. You will not be pushed along at a brisk pace. The Yangtze Discovery is the least physical, most of the walking is flat, and four days in the middle of the tour are spent relaxing on the river cruise. The Tibet Discovery is quite demanding, due to the excessive altitude. Anyone choosing this tour should be in good physical condition and cautious of the altitude.
