“This is a walking tour for sure. The only place really to rest is during the La Scala part of the tour. You also walk at a brisk pace to keep up with Massimo and are expected to keep up. I offer this observation for anyone that is not up for walking at a brisk pace to keep up with a group. My husband and I had no problem.
