The Seattle Times republished The Washington Post's article on what to ask before signing up for a group tour. It goes well with our previous coverage of group tour preparation such as 10 Tips: How to Choose the Right Group Tour and Lucky 7 Tips from a Volunteer Vacation Leader.
In planning a multi-day group tour, volunteer vacation, or multi-week trip abroad, all of these tips are useful resources for determining which group tour is right for you.
Find answers to these questions on the Wall Street Journal article link above:
- What is the max. number of people on the tour?
- What kind of bus is used?
- Does the tour company sublet its tours or use its own employees?
- Is the tour guide a native English speaker?
- Is the tour offered in English?
- Will you get the same tour leader in each location or local leaders per town?
- Are all entrance fees included?
- Are tips included also?
- Are hotel transfers part of the package?
- Can the tour guide change the itinerary when weather changes?
