    Our tours usually include all services from the moment your plane arrives at your chosen destination, where our representatives will be awaiting your arrival. All transfers, private touring, professional tour guides, regional flights and accommodation are arranged. We generally arrange some, but not all, meals on the trip.

  • Why are all meals not included in the trip?

    We understand that local cuisine is an important component of a trip. Everybody has different tastes and we have found that our clients enjoy the spontaneity of discovering restaurants on their own. As a result, we intentionally do not include all meals in the itinerary. We will usually include breakfast on most days and occasional lunches and dinners. Your final itinerary will indicate which meals are included on your customized tour. We always provide a list of restaurant recommendations in your destination, so you do have some guidance (if you want it) for where to take your meals, and we can make restaurant reservations ahead of time at your request. In addition, your guide will be happy to recommend restaurants if you ask.

  • Will I have the same guide throughout my trip?

    We use knowledgeable local guides who are residents of the area they are showing you. They are experts and can be trusted to give you the best experience possible. They know where to take you for the best view, which restaurants to recommend, and what time to visit a popular attraction to avoid the crowds. Because we use local guides, you will usually have a new guide for each city or region. Though your guide may change, the quality of the trip will be consistent, and you can count on the guides to always be friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Guides are pleased to answer any and all questions – in fact, our guides frequently tell us that VTI clients are their favorites, because our clients are curious travelers that truly enjoy learning about new cultures!
