    Questions & Answers

    Question: Hello! I am vaccinated but my travel companion is not, we are both US citizens. Can we take this tour tour sometime in 2023?

    Please see Gate 1's update vaccination requirements below. Gate 1 Vaccination Requirement Travelers departing prior to November 1, 2023 are required to be fully vaccinated. For USA or Canada based travelers, fully vaccinated means having completed the single dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine, or a second dose of the Pfizer, Moderna or AstraZeneca vaccines, at least 14 days prior to the start date of our trip. Travelers departing as of November 1, 2023 or later will not be required to be vaccinated. Additional requirements may exist based on your itinerary and enforced by airlines, government agencies, and local businesses.

    Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?

    Each person is allowed one "check-in," and one "carry-on." Remember to take all valuables with you as "carry-on", because electronic equipment, cameras, laptops, jewelry, business documents and money are not covered by the airlines' liability, so always carry them aboard with you.

    Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?

    Airfare from your point of origin to and from the trip is not included in the land price.
