For the slow traveller who enjoys exploring far beyond the usual tourist traps, consider booking a one-way tour to get to your next destination. You will avoid all the the inconveniences of air travel, get your own local guide for the day and learn about the history and culture of the lesser explored towns along the way. It’s honestly one of the best ways to turn a wasted day of travel into a memorable highlight of your adventure!
One-way tours can be booked as part of a small group tour (~12 people) or private tour (1-2 people). The cost is usually per vehicle, not person, so this is quite economical for families or groups of friends. And itineraries can be flexible, you just need to ask 😊

This style of tour also allows you to get away from the central tourist sites, and see some of the more remote, less visited attractions that would blow an entire day if you were to travel out to see them, then head back again.
Also, if you like to stay in the centre / old town, the pick up spot and drop off spots are usually within walking distance from your hotel!
Very highly recommended!
