FAQs
Have a question you want answered? Below is a list of commonly asked questions.
Preparing For Your Trip
Will I need to apply for a visa?
Countries such as China, Vietnam and India require an entry visa. Please note, visas can take up to 6 weeks to obtain, so please leave enough time for this process.
What vaccinations do I need?
The types of vaccinations required vary from one country to another and depends on your personal health circumstances. We recommend speaking to a medical professional to make sure you are up to date with your routine vaccines. For general advice, please visit Travel Doctor for further details regarding vaccinations and other travel health related topics.
Will I need to purchase travel insurance to join your tours?
Yes, we strongly recommend taking out travel insurance for your peace of mind – for example, change of travel plans or flight cancellations or delays.
I have credit card insurance. Will that be enough?
Please check the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) to determine whether your credit card insurance offers an appropriate cover for your needs. We strongly recommend purchasing a standalone policy for a more comprehensive cover.

When will I receive my travel documents?
Travel documents are sent out on a group-by-group basis usually within 2 weeks prior to departure.
On Tour
What is the luggage allowance on tour?
The tour coaches have limited capacity load due to safety issues. You can bring 1 piece of luggage and 1 piece of carry-on baggage on board the tour coaches. You will be required to lift and carry your own luggage on arrival and departure from hotels/coaches/airport.
I am a solo traveller. Can you pair me up with another solo traveller on the tour?
We do not pair solo travellers, so you will need to pay an additional single supplement where you will receive your own room on the entire tour.
I have a special dietary requirement. Can I still join your tours?
Yes, you can. We will do our best to forward your dietary requirements to our local operators and suppliers but cannot guarantee all requests will be met.
Why is tipping compulsory on your tours?
Tipping is an expected element across the travel industry and oftentimes, many travellers are unsure how much to tip. We make it easy for you by collecting the tips beforehand and then dispersing it to the tour guides and drivers.
Can I leave the tour to do my own arrangements and then join up with the tour group again?
Yes you can, but we do not recommend it as our tour guides have a duty of care to look after everyone in your group. If you wish to break away from the group, you will be required to pay a breakaway surcharge per day. All arrangements will be at your own expense and responsibility.
