1. Why are the prices of Travel Talk so affordable ?

Travel Talk is a customer oriented company. The pricing policy is based on the profit of both parties : Travel Talk and the customer. Travel Talk aims to serve more people with less profit ranges and to get the same profit amount in the end of the day.

The tour price consists of two payments : tour cost and the local payment. Please view the third question/reply for the details of the local payment.

3. What is the local payment for ?

We know that it’s not easy to get your cash together to cover the entire travel cost, especially when you book your flight ticket and the tour at once. We ease your cash needs by dividing the tour cost into two payments : tour price and local payment. You just need to pay the tour price to purchase your travel. The compulsory local payment will be paid when you join the trip. The local payment is a part of the tour cost and it covers a portion of the local expenses at the destination like transportation, expenses of the local guide and operation. The local payment does not cover extra costs like additional meals, entry fees,, drinks, tips, personal expenses or other type of travel costs which are not stated in the “inclusions” section on every tour page.

Most of our passengers (they call themselves "Travel Talkers") tend to be between 18 to 39 years but more mature travelers with a young outlook will be more than welcome.
