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. Travel Talk also uses effective cost control systems and keeps the
administration and operation expenses as low as possible while increasing the
standard of the services. |
|
2.
What does the tour price include ? |
|
The
tour price includes the services mentioned in the "inclusions" section on every
tour page. The tour price covers mainly accommodation, transportation, guide
service, breakfasts, sightseeing activities and some other inclusions depending
on your itinerary (i.e. ferry transportation, gulet, felucca or Nile cruise etc).
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 in the destination like
transportation, expenses of the local guide and operating expenses. The
local payment does not cover extra costs like additional meals, entry
fees (on Explorer tours), drinks, tips, personal expenses or other type
of travel costs which are not stated in the “inclusions” section on
every tour page. |
|
4.
What is the age of people traveling with you ? |
|
Most of our passengers (they call themselves
"Travel Talkers") tend to be between 20 to 40
years but more mature travelers with a young
outlook will be more than welcome. For families
with children under 18 we have specific family
oriented tours which are run separately from our
adult program. |
|
5.
I’m a single
traveller. Do I need to pay single supplement? |
|
There are always single
travellers in our tours. If you don’t mind sharing your room with another single
traveller of the same sex, we can match you up during the tour (except for
Family trips) whereas pre-post
accommodation needs to be in single room. |
|
6.
Do I need any vaccinations? |
|
Please consult your travel
agent or doctor to find out which vaccinations are required. If you suffer from
any form of illness, be sure to have an adequate supply of medicines before
departing on your trip. |
|
7.
Do I need to get my visa beforehand or can I get
on arrival at the airport? |
|
Some nationalities need to
get their visa beforehand whereas some nationalities can obtain on arrival at
the airport. Detailed information is available in pre-departure file of the
relevant destination.
You are
responsible for obtaining all necessary visas prior to the departure of your
trip. Please consult your travel agent or visa service well in advance to
determine which visas you will require and how to obtain them. Failure to obtain
all necessary visas could coast you to miss your trip and will result in
considerable expense and inconvenience. Please also
remember that on some tours you'll need multiple visas to enter the same country
twice. |
|
8.
What are the optional extras? |
|
Please check pre-departure
file of the destination you are travelling to, where you will find detailed
information. Please also check our "inclusions" and "booking conditions" section for the details
of the services which are included or not included in the tour price. |
|

Is it safe to book online through your booking
form? |
|
Yes, it is absolutely safe as
it is 128-bit SSL secured. |
|
10.
What other nationalities will be on the trip
with me? |
|
More than 300 travel agents
around the world sell Travel Talk tours. It is therefore typical to expect
different nationalities on any trip i.e. Australians, New Zealanders, British,
Americans, Canadians, Koreans and European citizens. |
|
11.
I’m arriving in the evening/at night. Will I be
still picked up from the airport? |
|
As long as airport transfer
is included in your tour (or purchased by you seperately), you will be picked up
from airport no matter what time you arrive (by a Travel Talk rep holding a
Travel Talk sign). |
