Q&A

Will I have to pay a single supplement if I travel alone?

No, you do not have to. We have an optional single supplement for solo travellers if you would like to have your own room, the cost of which varies from trip to trip. If not, you'll be paired with another solo traveller of the same gender for the tour.

Can you cater for gluten-free diets?

How safe is Algeria for travellers?

The wild camping in Algeria… is it very cold at night?

What are the tents like on the Algeria trip?

We are going to Algeria and the Sahara in March. We know we must provide our own sleeping bags but is it a good idea to also take inflatable mattresses?

Is it possible to have plainer food instead of curry in India?

If it is a first visit to Japan, can this trip be bolted on to a more standard trip?

Can you combine the Kyushu trip with a South Korea trip Explore do, given its so close?

What's the best time of year to go to Japan?

Can you have tattoos in that Onsen?
