Frequently Asked Questions

  • A tour includes a structured itinerary with multiple destinations, guided activities, and often meals. A vacation package typically includes flights and hotel at a single destination where you plan your own activities.

  • Most tours have set itineraries, but you can often choose your departure date, room category, and optional excursions. Some tour operators offer private tours that can be fully customized.

  • Group sizes vary by tour operator and tour type. Guided tours typically have 20-40 travelers, while small group tours may have 12-16. Self-guided tours are completely independent.

  • Tips for guides, drivers, and hotel staff are usually not included in the tour price. Your tour operator will provide guidelines for appropriate gratuities at your destination.

  • Cancellation policies vary by tour operator. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance that includes trip cancellation coverage for maximum flexibility and protection.
