Q. I see that flights are not included, they are separate. How does the air travel work, are we required to book seats on the group flight or can we make our own independent airfare arrangements?
|
A. The group flight is entirely optional. We have a limited number of seats set aside, for those who might with to reserve seats and travel on the start/finish dates of the tour. The group flights are based from Toronto but you can connect from any other gateway. At the time you book your tour you would simply request the group flight seats and they will be reserved for you - no additional deposit is required. You pay for the flight in addition to your tour package at the booking deadline.
Alternatively, you could choose to make your own air travel arrangements. You might prefer to fly direct from your local gateway to/from Europe, or you might wish to depart early, return later, or both, to extend your trip. Or you might be connecting with our tour from another trip already in the works. All these are possible. We only advise that you do not book any non-refundable air travel for our tours until after the booking deadline has passed. We always leave airfare as a separate component so that you have this booking flexibility, and it also allows you to use your points to book your own flights and save on travel costs. |

Q. Can I extend my trip?
|
A. Of course! We have lots of travelers who might wish to depart for the tour start-point sooner, to have additional time to explore, and/or return home later to allow for extra time to explore at the end. Our booking agent at Uniglobe can assist with a quote for these additional nights of accommodations. If you would prefer to book accommodations yourself, that's fine too ... we only advise that you do not book any non-refundable accommodations until after the booking deadline has passed.

Q. I am a single traveler, will I be comfortable on your tours?
|
A. Absolutely. You will meet other single travelers, and you will undoubtedly make new friends while on the tour - so you will not be alone. (Most of our single travelers are women.) Note ... there are a very limited number of single rooms on each tour, usually no more than 6. They are very popular and sell out quickly, so single travelers are urged to book early to avoid disappointment.
Alternatively, if you are a single traveler who would like to share a room with another single, contact us and we'll place you on a side-list and see if we can match you up with a compatible roommate! |

Q. Are tips included, or do I need to bring extra money for tips to give to the coach driver, guides, etc?
|
A. All gratuities are included. We take care of the little things so that you do not need to worry about those awkward moments of tipping. All our drivers, local guides, etc are all taken care of. No tipping required by you!

|
Q. How will I hear the guide, what if it's noisy or windy?
|
A. Everyone receives an audio receiver for the duration of the tour. A earbud for a single ear is provided but you can bring your own earbuds if you wish. This receiver allows you to hear your guide as far as 30 meters away, so you not required to necessarily stand close to be able to hear. Your VOX audio receiver brings the history right to your ears!
