Walking on tour:
Rural Landscapes of Britain & Ireland is a fast paced, multi-city tour. However, most of the sightseeing is done by private motorcoach. Be prepared for a good amount of walking in your free time, as the cities of Dublin and Edinburgh are both best explored on foot. In Edinburgh, there is a steep hill that leads from the Royal Mile to the Castle. In London, break up periods of walking by mastering the extensive “Tube” system.
