You'll have time to photograph, stretch, and absorb the landscape rather than rushing through a fixed checklist.

Good to know
This suits groups wanting control over pacing and a more intimate experience than coach tours offer. The private setup lets you linger at favourite spots or skip sections entirely. You'll need to budget separately for entry fees (if applicable at specific sites), meals, and all other expenses — the tour covers transport and guidance only. Not recommended if you have serious heart or cardiovascular conditions due to the length and driving involved. The route is accessible for wheelchair users and parents with prams; infant seats are available. Summer can be busy along the coastal sections. Confirm pickup times and locations when booking, as these aren't detailed here.
