Most breakfast and dinners are included as well as some lunches, so we only really needed to buy a few beers or local wine in the evenings. Although camping is a big part of the trip, cheap upgrades are available on most nights if you do want a little more comfort. You do need to be fairly active, but you can do as much or as little as you want. I highly recommend hiring a bike.
Our days were pretty busy and we were always on the go, but, if you do the month-long trip with Flying Kiwi the pace is slower and you’ll have excellent breaks for 2-3 nights in key locations along the way. At the same time, having two guides on each trip makes it feel more personalised.
On my specific tour, the average age was around the mid-thirties, but we also had couples in their sixties and a handful of twenty-somethings too, so it was a great mix. The group was made up for people from all over the world and really did highlight how these trips can be for everyone - it is more about your mindset than your age.
