These tours are ideal for travellers who appreciate the local knowledge of a guide, but who also enjoy some freedom to visit destinations of their own choice. On our Semi-Escorted tours you will join guided tours varying in length from a morning to several days. However, in between these you are free to explore on your own, with the aid of extensive information provided by Jaltour.
