The tour proceeds even with light rain. For heavy rain, we’ll adjust stops or provide indoor alternatives. Outdoor activities like the gondola ride may be canceled for safety.

Can the itinerary be customized?

Yes! As this is a private tour, you may request additional stops or adjust the pace as long as it fits the 4–5 hour schedule. Requests are best shared upon booking so we can plan accordingly.
