Important info
Special notes
- We always recommend travelling with a backpack and packing light! 10-20kgs of stuff should be plenty. We will be using mainly trains for transport so dragging around a huge suitcase is not much fun. Depending on your onward travel plans there is luggage storage at the airports or at some accommodations if needed.
- Please bring all valuable items with you at all times. Do not leave valuable items on the bus or at the hotel, attraction, or restaurant. Tours4Fun, local operators, drivers, and tour guides are not responsible for any loss or theft at any location.
- The name on your booking must be exactly the same as the name on your passport. Any discrepancy between the booking information and your passport may result in you not being able to board your flight. In this case, you will need to book a new flight at your own expense.
- Viewpoint in NB is a tough climb but can be stopped at any time.
- For tours with an age range of 18–49, the average age of participants is usually in the late 20s to early 30s. We kindly ask you to be aware of this to ensure your comfort and to avoid any impact on your experience or that of the group.
