Travel Advice
When you book your next holiday how can you choose your tour guide or tour operator ? its hard questions as They will be responsible for your vacation and booking your Hotel, tours, Cruise, Excursions, Guide and Driver.
You can do it in the UK at the same time as you book your holiday and you will have more come back as it is part of the package. (This assumes the company you chose is a member of ABTA and ATOL!!) If you book the same tours with your rep on holiday you do NOT have the same cover for some reason. Chances are it will be the most expensive route.
You can book with a Tour Company on line in advance. This is also expensive.
A Local Company is the best solution when you arrive - The least expensive method.
Majority of travel agents book you whatever you request and this is reflected in the price.
Tour operators
tour guides and operators are the most important and They frequently work from a pool and are employed by the Tour Company as and when required, unless they happen to own the company.
Many tour guides offer their services on sites and will approach you after the ticket office, with a host of stories such as 'I have the keys' to get you to hire them.
Before asking for your package check what you can do on your own with a good guide book.
If you know a good company on TA please always:-
Check the members profile see how much they have contributed to the whole TA site over the years, i.e. not necessarily just Egypt
How many members never ask any thing on the forum before they go, but manage to find the best company/guide ever and write a glowing report - It may, of course, be that they are asked to do so.
Check when they last used this company actually for a tour guide. (and not just used them for pick up to and from the airport.)
what is the package and for how much ?What they saw and what was included in the price? (prices can go up.and down)
Try to be in touch with Tour Companies make it clear what YOU wish to see and not just where they want to take you.
Get a break down of what is included in the price.
You can get also few comparison quotes
Checking with your credit-card company about the rights you have if you made a part or full payment and, for some reasons you had to cancel or others thing go wrong and you try to take the company to court, you should avoid this.
