We’ve done our best to gather answers to some of your most common questions about inbound and outbound tours.

Outbound Tours

FAQs

  • Are your tours escorted?

    Our policy is that to maximize your enjoyment professional tour leaders representing our company lead our outbound tours. When required we can call on other very capable tour leaders who work for our company. If we are working with a partner company they may provide the Tour Leader.

  • Why do your tours appear more expensive than some others offered?

    Our tours look more expensive because usually we include almost everything – entrance fees to attractions, meals and tips. If you compare the cost of a big ‘mass people movers’ tour with one of ours you will find we are very competitive when you add all the extras you have to pay for on other tours and allow for the tax deductible nature of our tours. You get what you pay for. We offer high quality tours and our clients feel they get value for their money.

  • Do you get a ruling from the IRS prior to the tour?

    No. We believe this can be a disadvantage. Sometimes we add extra technical visits or clients may do additional business, which increases the business proportion of the tour. Following most tours we send you a report. You can use this as a basis for discussion with your accountant as to what expenses you will claim.

  • Are your tours tax deductible?

    We design most of our tours with the aim of maximizing the opportunity for clients to offset the tour expenses against taxable income. Generally from 70% to 100%. We do run some add-ons to our tours that are not tax deductible.

  • How many people do you take on your tours?

    It depends on the destination and the nature of the tour. It can be as few as eight and up to forty five. Generally from fifteen to thirty. We do our best to get our tours away so usually as long as we get a minimum of ten we will go.

  • What is special about your tours?

    We work with business partners in overseas countries who know their country, provide local guides and help us to offer our clients tours which give you the opportunity to mix with the locals and experience the culture. You will also visit interesting farms. We have a lot of repeat clients so we must have ‘the recipe right.’
