Q: Will I have free time to myself?

Q: What if I cannot complete an activity?
A: Activities are designed to suit every level of fitness. We and our tour providers will aid you through all activities as much as possible. If you feel you cannot physically complete an activity, there is no pressure to do so. We would ask that you respect the continuation of others’ involvement in an activity by not interfering with their participation, but you are welcome to elect an alternative.
Q: If I feel unwell, can I not participate in an activity?
A: We would ask that you let us or the activity leader know that you aren’t well, and we will endeavour to make you as comfortable as soon as possible. If you miss out on an activity due to illness, we will do our best to find you a substitute activity/experience.

A: Absolutely! We encourage you to take photos of the tour and upload them to your social media accounts.
Q: Will we see any celebrities?
A: We have been known to spot celebrities on previous tours, and you never know, you may get to see some also.
Q: Can I pay to stay extra nights at the hotel after the tour is finished?
A: We are happy to ask the hotel if you can extend your stay beyond the tour if you ask us when you reserve your place. Obviously, this will incur extra costs for the room which we will pass onto you prior to the commencement of the tour. If you ask us after we have made the booking, we would ask that you enquire with the hotel yourself to ascertain if extending your stay is a possibility.
Q: My friend wants to come too, can we stay in the same room?
A: Absolutely yes! You would both then be eligible for the twin room price. Just let us know if you want to get cosy with your “friend”, or if two beds are still necessary.
Q: I really want to go to the Alcatraz Prison, but I don’t see it listed on the itinerary. Will I get a chance to see it?
