Family group adventure tours do have to stick to some sort of
schedule to ensure that they work logistically. However, our tour
leaders are asked to be as flexible as possible within the confines
of the itinerary. This may mean they:
- arrange a number of group meals for those that would like to
eat with their travel companions
- or, offer some optional excursions that are not mentioned on
the tour dossier (a one-off festival visit for example or a visit
to a local house to try on saris).
To keep the tour running effectively, tour leaders tend to give
regular briefings about what is happening in the next few days,
timings and what you need to bring for excursions, sightseeing and
activities. They will also brief the group on safety and general
health issues.
