Questions & Answers
  Ask A Question

Question: What are Trafalgar's tipping guidelines for Tour Director, Wellness Director, Coach Driver?

Trafalgar suggests a minimum of $3-4 per day for the driver and $6 per day for the Director. If you are happy with the services, we always suggest more, but that is a personal choice. There are no guidelines for the Wellness Director at this point.

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.
