Question 1

Who are Adventure Coordinators?

Accepted Answer

Adventure Coordinators is a full-service travel agency specializing in adventure travel.   Adventure travel to us means anything except large ocean cruises and all-inclusives.  Most of our travellers choose to travel either on small-group adventure tours, privately guided tours created just for them, on small-ship cruises or on self-guided hiking and cycling tours.  We do not run the tours ourselves - we leave that to the experts - but we can advise you on the tours and trips best suited to you.  And then we book these for you with the tour companies.

Question 2

Who operates your tours

Accepted Answer

Over the past 25 years I have built up a great network of trusted suppliers.  I work with a select group of great adventure tour operators - companies that have an established reputation and that I know and trust.
For my small-group departures I look at each operator’s trips in depth, compare them to similar trips by other operators, and will present you with those that I believe offer you the best experience.  The trips listed on this website are all the best of the best, but due to time constraints I am  not able to list all of them.  Please ask if you do not see a trip you are interested in.
For my tailored-for-you trips (I call them private journeys) I have selected the best destination management companies in the world with long track records and great reputations.  I work closely with you and them to design and book your next dream vacation.  Read more about our travel styles(https://www.adventurecoordinators.com/travel-styles)

Question 3

How large are your groups

Accepted Answer

Small group tours typically have a maximum of 12-16 passengers - small enough to get to know everyone and to not have a major impact on the places we visit.
On private and self-guided tours you decide who you invite to come along and the maximum group size is normally defined by the size of the vehicles and accommodations we use..  
On small-ship cruises I prefer to book you on small ships, typically with a maximum of 200 passengers.

Question 4

Who travels with you

Accepted Answer

Adventure Coordinators' travellers are adventurous people who want to explore our beautiful world, who are curious about wildlife and nature, other cultures, food and people.  Whether you want to be active or prefer to travel more leisurely; whether you want to stay in family-run hotels or luxury lodgings; and whether you want to travel in a small group with likeminded travellers or travel with your own family, friends or partner; if you have a love of adventure travel, we should talk.
About half of our guests travel solo while the other half travels as couples or as small groups of friends.  The ratio or women to men is about 50/50 with a slight bias towards solo travelling women.
As age is not an indicator of one's spirit of adventure we find people of all ages join our tours.  Many travellers are between 35 and 75 years of age.

Question 5

What is the typical age range of travellers

Accepted Answer

Most of our travellers are adults.  On small-group trips the minimum age is 18 (with some exceptions) and there is no maximum age.  Many travellers are between 35 and 75 years of age.  If it is important to you to be travelling with people your own age, I can give you tailored advice.
I do offer trips for younger adults (20's and 30"s) and I do offer trips for families with children as well.

Question 6

I travel solo - do I have to pay a single supplement

Accepted Answer

On the overwhelming majority of trips you can choose to share with someone else of the same gender.  If you prefer to have your own room, you can opt to pay a single supplement.

Question 7

Can I have my own room?

Accepted Answer

Tour prices are based on you sharing with someone else of the same gender.  If you prefer to have your own room, you can opt to pay a single supplement.

Question 8

Do I need to be fit to join your tours

Accepted Answer

We like our travellers to bring their sense of adventure but the required fitness level varies from tour to tour.  On our active tours you will be hiking or cycling and depending on what tour you choose this may take only a few hours or you may be active all day.  On our discovery tours you will often be looking around cities and sites.  Use our tour finder (https://www.adventurecoordinators.com/tours-holidays)to find tours by physical rating.

Question 9

Do you take children on your tours

Accepted Answer

Families with children can book a private tours or join a special family departure.   Please contact us (https://www.adventurecoordinators.com/contact-travel-tours)for specifics.

Question 10

I have dietary requirements - will they be catered for?

Accepted Answer

Most destinations can cater to all types of requirements but in some more remote places this can be harder.  When you book a trip with me you can let me know what your requirements are and I will pass these along to the tour company.  I do suggest travellers connect with the tour leader on day 1 about their diet and to bring a card with their requirements in the local language for those meals you plan to have on your own.

Question 11

What is included with your tours

Accepted Answer

A typical tour will include accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, some meals and the services of a tour leader.  Inclusions are listed in the detailed trip notes which are available on request.

Question 12

What accommodations do you use ?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the tour.  On small-group tours it can be anywhere from tents to home stays to comfortable hotels - let me know your preferred comfort level and I will find the right tour for you.
On private tours we tend to use luxury boutique hotels.

Question 13

What transportation do you use?

Accepted Answer

All kinds!  This can be a donkey cart, a camel, a train, a public bus or a private vehicle.   But I do realize the more adventurous forms of transportation are not for everyone, so if comfort is importatn to you, please let me know and I will find the perfect tour for you.

Question 14

Can I join a tour late or leave it early?

Accepted Answer

You can but it can be difficult to get to the right place at the right time.   As our prices are based on group rates we do not offer discounts if you do not use your entire trip package.

Question 15

How safe is travelling with Adventure Coordinators?

Accepted Answer

While there is always an inherent risk to travelling, my partners run their tours with your safety as a top priority.  They have offices in destination who will monitor local events.  If there is a travel advisory for your destination I will let you know before you book.  If a travel advisory gets elevated and a tour operator feels it is no longer safe to run a trip they will cancel the tour.

Question 16

Can I organize my own private group?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can!  And I love organizing private tours as it allows me to put my personal travel experience at work for you!   Privately guided journeys are perfect for those travellers who enjoy a unique holiday and wish to travel in comfort or luxury with their partner, their family or their friends.  They are designed to get under the skin of your destination and give you unique insights into the local culture without having to rough it.

Question 17

How much free time do I get on a tour?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the tour.  Some tours have only the main sightseeing included and offer plenty of free time for your own discoveries.  Other tours have a lot more gudiing included.  Contact me (https://www.adventurecoordinators.com/contact-travel-tours)for specifics.
