I went on this tour 6 weeks ago the earliest wake up call was 05:30 and that was a one off. Most of the calls are at 6:45 or 7am. They are very much worth it. You can be in bed by 9pm every night if you wish so you won't miss out on sleep. There are also plenty of opportunities to have a snooze on the coach. This is a trip not to be missed.
