How does room-sharing work?
On small group tours, room sharing is a common option designed to help solo travelers save on costs. Typically, you will be paired with another solo traveler of the same gender to share a room, ensuring affordability and a comfortable experience. For those who prefer privacy, many we also offer the option to book a private room for an additional fee, this can be found within the booking process on our site.
What is the age of other travellers?
We display the average age of each tour on the tour page itself. This is to give you an idea about the general and typical make up of the tour however, it can differ of course.
Most tours are aimed at everyone and typically the average age is around 40. Some tours are aimed at a younger demographic, these are typically with a maximum age limit of 35 or 39. These tours generally have an average of of 29 to 30.
Some tours are aimed at those a little older too which is implied by the average age.
How social is it?
Most tours have a good mix of time as a group and time alone. In the evenings, for example, you may have dinner all together but you can choose not to join if you prefer to do your own thing. There will also be free time built into the itinerary for you to explore independently.
You can make the holiday as sociable as you like and the choice is really yours.
Can I get my own room?
Yes, on most adventures you're able to pay a little extra for your own room. This is available during the booking process, you can select your own rom and the supplement will be added to the total price.
Are other solo travellers on the trips?
Yes, typically each group is made up of around 60% solo travellers and the rest a mix of friends and couples.
How many people are in each group?
The average number of people in each group tour is around 10 to 12. If you would like to know please ask our team. The size of the group changes over time as people book, often spaces will sell out on very popular tours.
