-
How many participants can I expect on a tour?
In general, we have 8 participants with one tour leader and 12-14 with two tour leaders. Our Luxury Edition tours have smaller group sizes (2-6) as do some of the Off the Beaten Track tours.
-
As flights are not included, what do we do about flight arrangements?
For international tours where transfers are included, we will recommend a flight once the tour is viable. This will be the flight that the tour leaders will meet the group from at the airport. If the departure airport does not match your location, please arrange a flight that arrives at the same time at the destination airport or earlier so that you can take the transfer with the leaders. You will be returned to the airport for the recommended flight on the final day.
-
What’s included in the cost?
We set out on each tour description page exactly what is and isn't included in the price. Please be aware that alcoholic drinks and telephone calls from your hotel room are not included.

Do you cater for special diets?
Yes. Just let us know your requirements and we will pass them on to the hotel where you are staying.

Are partners welcome?
Yes on certain tours. We charge a discounted rate for clients who are not participating in the photographic side of the tour. Please contact the office about this.

Are all tours and workshops guaranteed to run?
We have to wait for every tour or workshop to reach the viable number before confirming the tour will take place. You will be notified when the tour is viable and at this stage you will need to arrange your travel.

What happens if a tour or workshop is not viable?
We will notify you 12 weeks before a tour is due to take place if it is not viable, for one day workshops we will notify 6 weeks before. You will have the choice of a full refund or to book onto another tour or workshop.

What are the start and finish times of tours?
Each tour and workshop differs. You will be notified about start and finish times in the tour or workshop notes which will be available once a tour is viable.

What photographic equipment do I need to attend a tour or workshop?
This depends on the type of tour. A full recommended equipment list would be emailed to all participants 8 weeks before the tour commences. Please email the office with any queries before that time.
