will be responsible for your own arrangements from the moment

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.

We always recommend packing as light as possible however the
specific requirements for your tour will vary widely depending
on where and when you are traveling. Each tour includes a
suggested packing list.

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.
