The vast majority of our tours do not include any local payments. We do however need to ask you to pay our local agents for some options locally, rather than in advance. This is normally done to ensure that we can offer you competitive prices that can be maintained at stable levels, irrespective of international exchange rate changes. Some of our cheaper tours also leave your entrance fees out of the main tour price, to give you more flexibility about exactly what you want to see and do while on the tour. Other things you need to budget for locally include any meals not included in the tour price, personal requirements such as laundry, drinks and snacks, and any tips you may wish to give.

Full details of all our prices, inclusions/exclusions, and local payments for any tours and options are given on our website tour pages, and in each individual tour facsheet.
