No, you will need to make your own arrangements to get to the meeting destination for the first day of your tour. Make sure you keep departure times and possible delays in mind when booking flights.

When you book for more than one person, we will pair you with someone from your booking in a twin-share room with a private bathroom, unless you inform us otherwise. Single rooms are available upon request, at an additional cost.

If your group has an uneven number of travellers (e.g. 3, 5, 7), the remaining traveller will be roomed with another passenger of the same gender. Please note: minors under 18 cannot share a room with someone outside of your own booking.

If you are making separate bookings but want to share a room, just send us an email with your booking references and preferred rooming arrangements. We’ll take care of the rest!

Yes, and you are responsible for arranging your own insurance. Passengers and their personal property travel with us solely at their own risk. A suitable insurance policy should provide adequate cover for medical expenses arising through illness or accident prior to or during the holiday, and loss of holiday monies through cancellation or curtailment of the holiday or other insurable reasons. Clients should ensure that there are no exclusion clauses limiting protection for the type of activities in their tour. 

For a relatively small price, travel insurance provides you with the peace of mind so that you can enjoy your tour without any worries. To receive a quote from our preferred travel insurance partner please visit World Nomads*.

However, at our discretion, we may consider younger children on certain tours if they meet certain criteria and a request is received in writing via email for consideration. We reserve the absolute right to accept or decline a booking at our discretion.

For more information, please refer to the 10-Day Money-Back Guarantee in our Terms & Conditions.
