Frequently asked questions

No. You do not need to tip your guide; it is not expected. However, the guide may accept a tip, if offered. All the guides set their tour prices to ensure they are appropriately compensated for their time. As such they do not rely on tips from tours.

Yes, definitely. Tours are always customizable, so pick-up could be at an airport with drop off at a hotel. Or perhaps pick up at a cruise port and drop off at an airport. We love seeing people make the most of their time, and layover tours are popular!

One you’ve booked your tour, you’ll be provided with your guide’s cell phone number, in case of emergency. But all itinerary planning needs to be discussed by messages through the website. This is so that, in the rare cases where the tour may not have been delivered to your expectations, there is a written record of what was agreed to.

We expect all of our guides to respond to messages within 24 hours. They do their best, but we ask that you try to be patient, especially in busy season! And remember that time zone differences often mean they are sleeping when you send your inquiry!

For the best selection, we suggest booking your tour well in advance, once you've booked your flights, and are certain of your dates. Most travellers book around a month in advance. This also gives the guides time to customize the tour to your unique preferences.

A tour guide helps you explore the unexplored streets, corners, food joints, and architectural structures, cultural and historical information.

You can always tell your preference about shopping to your Travel Agent and guide will follow the instructions.
