Do I Have To Eat With Fellow Guests?

Border

Although it can be a bonding experience β€” and a lot of fun β€” there's absolutely no obligation to eat with your fellow guests while touring.

Everyone is free to do their own thing.

Owing to the remote nature of some hotels on our tours, there will occasionally be only a single choice for evening dining.

Your VagaGuide can help make group reservations for restaurants if you do want to dine with fellow guests.

Can I Access My Bag While On Tour?

Border

It's difficult to access your main luggage or suitcase while on tour. Luggage is securely packed in our tour vehicles. As a result, it's not easy for your driver guide to access individual items of baggage during the day.

However, you can easily access your luggage at each hotel. So that you have your travel essentials close at hand, we recommend bringing a daypack, or backpack, that you can keep beside you in the tour vehicle.
