Meals
We believe that eating local is not just a lot of fun but also one of those
important elements of the destination experience very much a part of the
adventure as they say! So, be flexible and prepared to savour and enjoy the
varied and wonderful foods of the world. Meals included and excluded are
clearly specified on the detailed itinerary. When meals are included you will
need to adhere to timings as these meals are usually eaten together in a
group. Included meals are usually at local restaurants. When meals are not
included, your trip leader will be happy to make restaurant
recommendations of favourite places frequented by the locals, but you are
also free to explore on your own.

On some trips, such as the ones that include camping or home-stays, we can
take the fun to a new level by encouraging you to cook your own meal if you
would like to. When meals are not included, group members tend to head
out to restaurants together and this can be a lot of fun. However, you are
free to decide if you want to join them or not. Choice of vegetarian food can
sometimes be limited and repetitive. Though special food, including
vegetarian, child meals etc. can never be guaranteed, we do our best to
accommodate your requests. On guided trips, please ensure you inform your
trip leader if you are vegetarian.

Your Travel Companions

a wide age range. For it to be happy experience for all, as vacations should
be, your patience, attitude and understanding can be the difference between
it being an enjoyable or challenging experience for the entire group. Making
people wait is not just considered rude in most cultures but also a waste of
the groups and your precious vacation time. Please be aware that the trip
leader has the right to leave you and move on with the planned activity /
rest of the trip if you are not on time. The cost of rejoining the group will be
at your expense. Due to privacy reasons we do not provide traveller contact
