Allow time for walking and resting
How you arrange it is more important than how many points you go to.
Separate arrangements for going to the island and the city, and check the pier, ferry tickets and island entry time in advance.
The itinerary takes into account gatherings, transportation, walking, explanations, meals and rest. The elderly, children, language and special interests will affect the actual movement route, and the same timetable will not be applied.
In the event of changes in weather, opening, reservations, and traffic, the reasons will be explained first, and then alternative content and fees will be negotiated. Confirmed services will not be shortened without authorization.
