Regularly walk up multiple flights of stairs and short, steep hills.
Stand for extended periods without needing to sit down in both hot/cold climates.
Carry your luggage.
Get in and out of a bath without assistance (some hotels may have a shower over a bath).
Get on and off various modes of transport without assistance.
Generally, be able to participate in the tour without any special assistance from SWT. 

Physical Rating

Each of our tours includes a physical rating to assist you in choosing the perfect holiday. Every tour necessitates a daily average walking step count of 10,000 steps (except for our Free & Easy tours). More active tours entail lengthier walks on more challenging terrain and may encompass more physical activities including cycling etc.

Basic Fitness Rating - A basic level of fitness is necessary for these tours. Typically, a day of walking entails approximately 10,000 steps and you should be capable of boarding and disembarking coaches, trains and boats unaided as well as managing steps and uneven terrain including cobblestones and unsurfaced roads and paths.

Moderate Fitness Rating - A moderate level of fitness will be required for these tours due to the length and/or overall physicality of our tour itinerary. You can expect to walk more than 10,000 steps daily on more challenging terrain and longer periods. You must be capable of boarding and disembarking coaches, trains and boats unaided and at times handle your luggage.

Challenging Fitness Rating - A high level of fitness is required for these tours. You can expect to participate in challenging walks for longer periods often on uneven and steep terrain. Prepare to be active for most of each day. You must be capable of boarding and disembarking coaches, trains and boats unaided and at times handle your luggage.
