Hi,

I have never done any travelling before so i was hoping for some advice-

Are these kind of trips ones you could do alone?

Are they safe?

Are the flights/etc included? do you get advice on visas etc or is this up to the individual to sort out?

sorry about all of the questions but any help would be much appriciated.

thanks

Hi there,

I have done 2 Im Trav trips now (Jewels of Egypt and Quetzal Quest); one with a friend and one on my own. I'm not normally the sort of person to travel alone but I trusted Im Trav from my first trip and so decided to chance it. I had a brilliant time and felt totally safe. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a tour to you.

I would say, however, that some group makeups might lend themselves to solo travelling more. i.e. if everyone else was in a couple it might be a bit more difficult. If you enquire about a tour you can usually find out some brief details about who else is travelling to help you make up your mind.

Flights aren't included in the prices but Im Trav will arrange them for you if you like. I did this for one tour and arranged my own flights for another. There are benefits to each as you may be able to find something cheaper yourself but you get a bit more peace of mind if you book as a package as, if the tour was cancelled or changed, Im Trav would sort that out for you.

You usually get advice on visa but have to sort them out for yourself.

Hope that helps until someone more qualified comes along.

Good luck with your trip.

Lyn

Hey ticky!

Thanks for your post.

Imtrav tours are great for people who are travelling alone as they give you a chance to meet new people, visit amazing countries and give you the security of travelling with a knowldegable traveller (your tour leader) and the safety of being part of a group.

Our tours are priced as land only tours however we can arrange your flights if you need them.

Our dossiers can offer visa advice but we are not able to arrange them, you can do that by contacting a visa specialist company or arranging them yourself via the relevant embassy.

I hope that this helps- if you want to know more about any specific tours or would like an idea of group make up please email me kate@imtrav.net

Have a nice weekend!
Kate
