      TravelerWritten December 2025

      specifically about the southern explorer tour for summer 2027, we are a family of 3, our child will be 13 at time of travel and we dont want to be split into 2 rooms. Do your hotels not offer arrangements for this?

    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten January 2026

      For our tours, please note that the minimum age exception to participate is 16 years old. Unfortunately, this means a child aged 13 at the time of travel would not be eligible to join the tour. A room for three can be arranged however it is subject to availability and typically has a roll-on type of third bed

    Asked on September 11th, 2025

    This tour looks interesting but the meals included indicate only 1 breakfast. So just like to ask what passengers do for breakfast lunch and dinner around the daily travelling itinerary?

    Meals
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten September 2025

      For the other meals, your guide will always provide recommendations and assist the group in finding great local options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner along the way. This allows you the flexibility to try different cuisines and restaurants at your own pace and according to your preferences.

    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten August 2025

      The age range advertised serves as a guideline for the average age range of passengers booked on the tour. We're quite flexible and welcome guests of all ages, though we do recommend the single supplement for solo senior passengers. What matters most is that you're comfortable with the itinerary and the pace of the trip!
