|
Can I join a tour late or leave it
early?
|
|
It's extremely difficult if not
impossible to join a tour after it has
begun. It is possible to leave a tour
early however you will be responsible
for your own arrangements from the
moment you decide to leave the tour. You
would also be responsible for all costs
associated with joining a tour late or
leaving one early. If you feel this may
be necessary please consult one of our
travel consultants before you book your
tour.

|
What is the most appropriate type of
luggage to bring? |
|
We strongly recommend bringing a
backpack or duffel bag, as suitcases can
be cumbersome and difficult to store in
buses, under seats, etc.. Keep in mind
that you will normally have to carry
your own luggage on and off buses and
trains and up and down hotel staircases.
Suitcases with wheels may not work well
on dirt or cobblestone roads.

suggested packing list.

| Can you help arrange my travel
visas? |
| Requirements for travel visas vary
widely depending on your nationality and
your destination. Although we can send
you a guarantee letter. [Especially for
Indians, South African]. To help you to
get your visa, but this after booking
the tour, not before. Most of the
Europeans, Canadians, and Americans can
get the visa on arrival |

| What vaccinations are recommended
for my tours? |
| It's important that you receive the
most accurate and up-to-date travel
health information for the region you
will be visiting. The only one qualified
to provide you with this advice is your
family physician or a specialist from a
Travel Health clinic. Our page does
provide links to a number of websites
that contain excellent background
information related to travel health
issues. Nevertheless these websites are
no substitute for a personal
consultation with a qualified medical
professional. |
