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. On Explorer and Discoverer tours, 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. On
Flexy tours, the tour price covers mainly transportation, guide
service, breakfasts, sightseeing activities. The accommodation is not included
in the Flexy tour rates and the optional
accommodation package can be purchased
separately. |

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. On Explorer and Discoverer tours, 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.
There is no compulsory local payment on Flexy
tours. The optional accommodation package can be
purchased separately and paid upon arrival in
the destination. |

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. |
|
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. |

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

twice. |
