    Frequently Asked Questions

    • What is the difference between self-guided and flexi?|

      A self-guided adventure allows independent travellers to travel along without a guide. The tour operator essentially acts as a concierge to ensure you have the necessities - accommodation, transportation, and some pre-booked activities. While in Flexi trips you still have a guide/tour leader but the itinerary is not as "full" as a fully escorted trip. You will have more free time for example.
