Inclusions

Airport transfers: so long as you provide us with flight details in advance we arrange an English-speaking local guide and an air-conditioned vehicle with driver to meet you from the airport and transfer you to your hotel. The guide will provide assistance at check-in if required. We also arrange a final departure transfer for your last day. You may request a transfer from/to another location at the time of booking. Transfers are normally arranged for the first and last day of the itinerary. If you book additional nights with us then we will change the dates accordingly.
Local guides: We hire guides with detailed local knowledge for certain sites en-route. When the group consists of 5 or less participants the Local Guides will act as Journey Leader and have responsibility for delivering the travel services according to your itinerary whilst the group is visiting their city.

Food and drink: we include many meals throughout the journey, especially breakfasts at hotels and when the group are travelling together. A soft drink is included with each lunch or dinner and tea/coffee and juice for breakfasts. We do leave some meals free for you to go off on your own and explore. You can see which meals are included on the day-by-day itinerary.
