Tours and Excursions

Booking tours and excursions can be a great way to explore a destination! Below is a quick guide on what to look for when booking activities...

• It can be important to book tours in advance... especially if you’re visiting a popular attraction or destination. Booking tours in advance can save time and ensure you don’t miss out. It's also useful for ensuring your spot during peak seasons.

• Local Operators: Many destinations have small, locally owned tour companies that offer more intimate and unique experiences. These often provide expert knowledge about the area.

• Inclusions: Make sure you know exactly what’s included in the price. Does the tour cover meals, transportation, entrance fees, or guide services?  Some excursions might have extra costs, like tips for the guide or optional add-ons (e.g., additional activities or souvenirs).

• Flexibility: Plans can change, so check the cancellation policy before booking. Many tours offer full refunds if you cancel within a certain timeframe, while others might offer credits or partial refunds.

• Small Group vs. Large Group: Smaller groups can often provide a more intimate, less rushed experience. Larger groups may offer more affordable prices but could feel more crowded or impersonal.

• Physical Demands: Make sure to check if there are any physical requirements (e.g., long hikes, physical exertion) before booking a tour.
