Will I be accompanied by a tour leader throughout?

Generally yes, for group trips your leader will be with you throughout. There may be occasions when a local representative joins you for a part of the trip, for example for a tour of a particular landmark. Check the trip page for details of the staff who will accompany your trip.

Our leaders’ main responsibility is to make sure that all members of the group are well looked after and return home having had a wonderful holiday with some fantastic memories. It is the Leader’s responsibility to ensure that the trip runs smoothly and that all the logistics are in place; also to oversee the health and safety aspects of the trip. Your leader will be as flexible as possible - within the confines of the itinerary. For example, they can arrange group meals for those that would like to eat with their travel companions. Alternatively, if you would prefer to make your own plans they may offer suggestions for local restaurants.
