Tips & guidelines

• Wear comfortable shoes as you'll be walking during the tour; avoid high heels or unsupportive footwear. Opt for sneakers or well-cushioned walking shoes for better stability on uneven surfaces.
  
• Dress in layers because temperatures may vary throughout the day. Bring a lightweight jacket for early mornings or late evenings, especially during cooler spring or fall days.
  
• Bring a reusable water bottle and some light snacks. Hydration is key during active tours, as opportunities for refilling may be scarce in remote areas.
  
• Secure your personal items in a small crossbody bag. This keeps your essentials easily available and minimizes the risk of loss or distraction during crowded stops.
  
• Respect local norms by remaining quiet in ceremonial or historic areas. Observing calm behavior helps preserve the ambiance and ensures enjoyable interactions with fellow visitors.
