COMING IN 2020Not able to travel in 2019 or looking for inspiration for your next trip? Keep an eye out for these
trips coming in 2020! Contact us at [email protected] to register your interest.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSg WHAT DOES THE COST OF THE TRIP COVER?
All of the inclusions of the trip are listed on the panel on the left hand side of the itinerary page. This will outline how many nights overall are included, the number of meals, transport types (eg flights, coach, cruise details etc), where sightseeing is included and any other extras such as airport transfers and gratuities. You can then get more detailed information on the day to day itinerary by contacting us.
gWOW, THERE IS A LOT INCLUDED! HOW WILL WE FIT IT ALL IN?
You are in the very best hands with your arranged tour. We have tried to find the balance between seeing the sights and having time to appreciate your surroundings. We try to include two-night stays at every 2nd or 3rd city or town so you will have more free time to explore. While it would be nice to spend more time at every town or city, it isn’t possible as the tour would last for months!
g HOW MUCH MORE MONEY WILL I NEED WHILE I AM AWAY? While we try to cover most of the major costs, there are some costs that you will need to budget for. We would recommend budgeting around NZ$100-$150 per day for ‘spending money’ to cover any additional attractions that you may wish to visit as well as any meals and snacks you want to purchase.
g WE CERTAINLY VISIT LOTS OF PLACES, WILL THERE BE ANY FREE TIME? Absolutely! We try to make the best use of your time in each destination with the sightseeing that is included. During free time, Avalon, Globus & Cosmos offer a range of optional excursions, which are other popular attractions or experiences that aren’t included in the tour price. These are the only group trips that we offer, and they can be purchased with the tour director but there are thousands of other sights and attractions you may wish to visit. Once you are booked on a tour we can provide a list of the optional excursions we offer so you can budget for these.
g IS THERE A LOT OF WALKING INVOLVED? The included sightseeing will be a mix of walking and coach transportation. Some of the places we visit are thousands of years old and were around long before luxurious touring coaches, like the ones Globus and Cosmos use, so walking is the only option. Our walking tours are done at a moderate pace and you will often stop at points of interest so you are able to take pictures and hear more about them from our knowledgeable Local Guides & Tour Directors.
g WHAT IF I AM TRAVELLING ALONE? To give you an alternative to the single room supplement, we accept reservations on a “share” basis. We charge the basic price and match up singles of the same gender in twin-bedded rooms*. For single travellers who prefer the privacy of their own room, single accommodation can be reserved by purchasing the tour with the single supplement.
*If no other traveller book on “guaranteed share” basis the single supplement will apply.
g HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ON TOUR WITH ME? On average our tours take 38 passengers. Our special Escorted group will have around 15 – 20 New Zealand passengers and we will join up with other passengers once we join our main tour.
gWILL I BE TRAVELLING WITH PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES?
Yes, the Globus family of brands is an international company. As such, you will be travelling with like-minded enthusiasts from countries as diverse as the United States, Canada, Australia and South Africa, as well as Europe and Asia regions. All tours are English speaking.
gWHAT WILL THE TEMPERATURES BE? IS IT LIKELY TO RAIN?
Our GFOB escorted tours generally operate during spring or autumn in the places that we visit, so we can make the most of the weather in our destinations. While we would like to have warm sunny weather throughout your trip, even Globus isn’t able to arrange that! Closer to your time of travel we will send you a suggested packing list for your chosen trip, and we will provide some more detailed climate information about your destination.
g CAN I EXTEND MY TRIP? Yes! If there are more places that you would like to visit after you have completed our GFOB escorted tours itinerary we may be able to change the dates of your return flights, for an additional cost. For inspiration of other tours and cruises we offer visit our website www.globusfamily.co.nz. You will also be rewarded with a small discount off any other tour, or tour you add on, to your GFOB escorted tours package.
