Yes, I go on all my tours. I am NOT the guide although I plan the itineraries, attraction visits, book hotels and restaurants and all the other tour details. Our Driver/Expert Guide does the 'guiding' while we are on the coach, and when we have local tours I use additional local guides to add their unique knowledge and expertise.
I will always be your first point of contact for any issues that may arise.
-
Yes of course they can be made and if we can work it into our itinerary we will. It will be Stuart’s call to make that decision.
For example I am often asked if a round of golf can be arranged, and we do our best to accommodate.
We have also arranged for special occasion/anniversary dinners.

ACH (Bank Transfers) at no cost to you are our recommended form of payment.
