Here are some suggestions and notes for getting the best out of you holiday, Here are some questions and advice from One world Tours destinations, for whoever you choose to book with.
you should ask whoever you are thinking of booking with and whatever the destination.
1. Am I booking with a fully fledged travel company or just an Agent ? Quite simply, if you are booking through an agent only, then should you have any problems during your trip, you will have very little comeback as ultimately the tour company you are with will blame the agent and the agent will blame the Tour Company. Always look to book with a Tour Company and not an agent as this will guarantee that any problems that you may have experienced can be dealt with accordingly.
2. What is the name of the hotels I will be staying in ? This is particularly important when you are offered 5 star accommodation, but its important for all ratings. ALWAYS ask for the name of the hotels where you will be staying so you can check for yourself the actual rating / quality of the hotels. If they will not tell you - beware.
3. Can I pay by Credit Card ? If you can pay for your trip by credit card, this gives you a 99% guarantee that you are dealing with a reputable and established company. For Travel Companies, being able to accept credit card payments is notoriously hard to set up as the Credit Card companies run a VAST amount of checks before giving out such facilities.
4. Do you have a testimonials page ? Any Tour company should be happy for you to see what previous clients have to say about their experiences, but also check if these people are contactable (Through e-mail links etc) and can you therefore check if these testimonials / reviews are genuine or not.
5. Can I pay in Full on Arrival ? If a tour company / agent offers to allow you to pay in full on arrival - RUN A MILE. If this is offered, it simply means that almost certainly you will not be physically booked until you arrive and this is of course, a risky start to anyones holiday.
These questions are important and sensible to ask and any company worth trusting with your holiday should be happy to give you the answers.
