A safe, comfortable hotel will be waiting for you at your destination. Throughout your tour, you'll rest your head in some stylish, impeccably clean hotels - many with stories of their own to tell. 

I am interested in traveling on this tour, but I don't have a roommate.  The price per person for single occupancy is higher than the price per person for double occupancy.  Why are single travelers penalized for traveling alone?

Single travellers are never penalized for travelling alone. In reality, the single-occupancy fare is the true price of the tour. However, when two people travel together the cost of the room is divided between the two travellers, so the double-occupancy fare reflects a lower rate for each. You will be charged the Single Supplement rate if you do not want to share a room with someone. Please book this room and contact us to let us know you are travelling solo. Your price will be adjusted so that you are paying the Single Supplement rate.  

Your transportation is covered when you travel with us, whether by plane, motorcoach, train, ferry or subway. Sit back and enjoy the ride. 
You can book your flights or enjoy the perks of letting the pros take the reins. We can secure your flights at competitive rates and arrange airport transfers for your on-tour arrival and departure.  

Our top priority is getting you from Point A to Point B smoothly and seamlessly. On tour, you'll travel by private motorcoaches, national or regional rail systems, ferry, air, or a combination. 

Each purpose-driven itinerary we create will include educational concepts to provide a meaningful and impactful experience for our guests of all ages. We are building a world where people don't go on "vacations" ─ they have fantastically memorable trips. We want our guests not to say they went somewhere but to say that they "did something", learned something, explored something, discovered something and were changed by something.  

You will learn about local life when you're on tour. We'll take you inside workshops, cooperatives, kitchens, farms and other spaces where locals bring their trades and traditions to life. Spotlight artists, artisans, food makers, the creative economy and small businesses in those communities.

1. Consent letter confirming that the child has permission to travel abroad (e.g. when taking a trip alone, with a group, or with only one parent). See here for a sample from the Canadian Government;

Security and safety are our first priority for every person travelling.

And we continuously evaluate our travel operations to keep our travel community safe. We remain in contact with our travel partners, travel associations, and government agencies to compile advice to make operational decisions based on public health recommendations.  

Social Distancing

There may be times on tour or the motorcoach when social distancing is required. We will take care to ensure local guidelines are followed in a safe & comfortable manner. For any cases where masks are necessary due to local policies, we ask that guests bring their masks for comfort and safety. We will have a few on hand for emergencies.  

Guest & Team-Member Health

We have done our best to ensure a healthy environment with our local guides/hosts and drivers requiring that they are fully vaccinated. We also require that all travellers are fully vaccinated before joining the tour. Additionally, we conduct regular guest checks; when local guidelines require masks, travellers will wear masks. In other cases, masks are optional for our fully vaccinated guests.

Contact us at once if you are experiencing any symptoms related to Covid-19, including fever, dry cough, fatigue, aches and pains, sore throat, diarrhea, headaches, loss of smell, shortness of breath and chest pain.  

Touch-Points along the Way

Touch-points of travel include luggage handling, check-in/check-out interaction, expedited entry into attractions and more. We are further reducing risk with hands-free services, including some self-services now performed by staff, including the elimination of self-service buffet meals in some cases. We will ensure hand sanitizing is available throughout each trip, on transportation modes and in hotels.

Commitment to Clean

We require enhanced cleaning procedures with our hotel partners and on motorcoaches throughout the trip, including daily disinfecting practices. And our motorcoaches are equipped with air filters that clean the air and provide constant ventilation.
