When the activity level is too high

The activity rankings can be very subjective. Happily, now that the RS discussion board is back, you can ask members about a specific trip. When we went on a RS trip to Cuba - active- I worried about keeping up. Turned out to be fine - the guide was very flexible and offered alternate activities and nobody felt held up.

Perfect response. It is subjective. On a recent trip, which I found easy peasy, not so much for others. The days were not challenging but the schedule was. On The Road trips are exactly that: pack up and go, tour, travel, eat, travel, tour, travel,eat, sleep and get up the next day and do it again. I like it but some of the not On The Road people found the schedule challenging and it had nothing to do with age or fitness. Know your limits. Challenging yourself if good but within what you can hope to do within reason.

Has anyone one done the cycling tour in Tuscany? If so, what wa your experience? How difficult is his?

We have done about 20 RS programs over the past 20 years. Now "Active" the the best we can do. I like the riverboats because you can stay on the boat if you are unable to do a specificly strenious excursion. Since the boats dock in cities you can enjoy the "cafe society" instead.

Yes, we will be doing a "keep the pace" program this Spring and we will be on riverboat...2 to 3 miles per day and some steps thru Verona and Venice..I have walked on cobblestone streets before...Is keep the pace like an average day of sightseeing? We will have the riverboat to our rescue.

Right on, ssiehr011236! In fact, the last riverboat cruise I took had both Easy Going and On Your Feet groups, and people were free to move back and forth depending on activity, as long as the group leaders knew what you were doing.
