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.
