Sample
Routes
|
Our first job as your personal tour guide is to help you in choosing
where you want to go. While your trip will be uniquely yours, the
sample routes below should serve to give you some ideas about what's
possible in the amount of time you have, and what's desireable,
based on your interests.
Take a bit of time to browse through them, and stimulate your holiday
dreaming. You may find one that looks perfect the way it is,and
we can use that as the basis of your holiday planning. Alternatively,
you may see one that needs a little trimming in order to fit your
needs, or two that you'd like to splice together for a longer adventure.
Or, you may want to try something that's completely different than
anything pictured here. Whatever your vision, we'll make it happen
for you just the way you like it.
Once we've come up with a general route that includes the destinations
you're most interested in visiting, we'll get into more specifics,
such as how much time to spend in a given destination, and what
activities to focus on while you're there.
Note that point-to-point routes can be traveled in either direction.
