We do stop for a lunch break which is usually around 1 Hour 20 Minutes or thereabouts depending on how busy the eating establishment is upon arrival, there is no huge rush as this is your day, just bare in mind that some tours are long days and there is a lot of ground to cover.We can also supply a picnic type lunch if you request one instead of stopping at a restaurant or café, this has to be paid for upon booking at an extra charge. This can be an idea if your tour is on a Sunday or Monday as a number of places are closed on these days as standard, however we can recommend nice places to eat on route.
Our tours vary in length with the longest being around 11/12 hours the shortest being around 6/8 hours.
