Walk the craft lanes; on Sundays the route can include the livestock market.
About
Private trip planning for your own party. A couple or a family of 2–6 is a useful starting point for a quote, not a minimum group size. No scheduled group departure is advertised.
This is a suggested route to discuss, not a confirmed departure. The day notes explain the pace and transfer needs; your written itinerary must confirm transport, opening hours and overnight stops.
Day 1 · Walk through the old town and bazaar. Check the Sunday livestock-market option when choosing a date.
Begin with the craft lanes of the old town and leave time to look inside shops rather than only walking past. A livestock-market visit changes the transport plan and is an optional Sunday extension, subject to the market operating. Confirm whether you prefer a walking-only morning or the extra drive.
Pace: sightseeing and short walks; optional activities quoted separately.

Hotels
Example preferences, not named or confirmed hotels. Ask the specific property to confirm passport check-in for your dates.
Simple & practical
Request a private room, private bathroom, reliable hot water and a convenient pickup point. Good for travellers who spend most of the day outside.
Comfort
Ask for twin or double beds, breakfast details, quiet rooms and lift access if needed. Confirm cooling or heating for the season.
Character stays
Ask about a small guesthouse or a scenic location. Compare road access, stairs and bathroom facilities with a city hotel before deciding.
Upscale
Request larger rooms and more hotel facilities where available. In mountain towns, prioritise a suitable location and confirmed room conditions over a star label.
