However, you may be asked to pay for certain optional items like souvenirs, drinks and food during free lunch or dinner hours which are usually unpaid.

Walking Tours

To get a better understanding of your destination, try an in-depth walking tour. There are escorted and self-guided walking tours of every continent; however, an Antarctica tour must be combined with a cruise.Walking tours are typically rated by difficulty, which incorporates factors such as route distance and terrain. You will spend the morning walking around town while seeing sights and stopping occasionally for a snack, lunch in a nearby park or downtown with food stops throughout the day, followed by an evening meal. It is a good idea to start getting in shape several months before your tour begins.

Bus and Motorcoach Tours

Why choose a Bus and Motorcoach Tours?

Buses are a great option for visitors who do not want to face the hustle and bustle of major cities or navigate rough terrain. The bus tour tours are great for those who want to explore a new city, some are day trips, while others can last up three weeks! Many bus tour participants are often randomly assigned seating each day. This is to encourage people on the trip to get acquainted with their fellow travelers and enjoy interacting one-on-one rather than in large groups all the time.

Sometimes, bus tours can be quite strenuous. There are two main reasons for this: either because of how much walking is involved at each stop or the amount time spent sitting in a moving vehicle at any given point on your tour. Please remember to discuss your travel party’s mobility issues with us before you make a deposit on a bus trip.
