Good to Know Before You Go

Because this is a private tour, the daily start and finish times are flexible and shaped around what you want to do. Most days begin around 09:00 to 09:30 and wrap up in the late afternoon, usually between 16:00 and 17:00, which leaves plenty of room for several sites, a lunch stop, and some unhurried time to look around across the two days.

Wear comfortable clothes and proper walking shoes or sturdy sneakers, since the ground is uneven and many sites have unpaved paths and steps. Layers help with the temperature swings through the day, particularly for an early balloon flight or the cool underground cities. At religious sites, covering shoulders and knees is appreciated. If you add the optional hot air balloon flight, it runs at first light around sunrise, when the air is calmest and the flying conditions are smoothest; the exact time shifts with the season.
