Physical ratings
Each of our trips comes with a physical rating attached. These aren’t comprehensive breakdowns – just handy little guides so you can tell, at a glance, if a trip is right for you. The more stars, the more challenging. Simple.
Physical ratings
The physical rating gives you an idea of how much physical exertion is required on a particular trip. The majority of our itineraries are designed for people with an average level of fitness, but there are a few specialist tours (like trekking the Himalayas or cycling through Vietnam) that require a bit of training beforehand.
