1. Why book tours through Frontiers of Travel?
As an independent adventure travel website, Frontiers of Travel has access to thousands of tours
from some of the leading adventure travel companies in the world (see above).
We have several unique features to allow you to find the perfect tour for your journey:
-
Our tours are carefully organised and mapped according to itinerary and destination, allowing you to search by country, region, city,
multi-country trips and travel experience. This means you don't have to trawl through hundreds of tours for popular destinations such as
Peru, India, Thailand or Tanzania. Our unique approach to multi-country journeys also allows you to easily find the most
appropriate routes and tours for travellers wishing to travel on the great overland journeys through Africa, Asia and Latin America.
-
Presenting a succinct summary of the tours for any given destination (including price, duration, tour style and an itinerary map)
allows you to easily compare the available options and choose the best tour for you and your budget.
-
One simple click will take you to the specific tour page on the travel company's website, allowing you to instantly find more details,
check availability and book the tour should you choose. No filling in forms, declaring interest and waiting for responses -
just instant access to the tour provider and the relevant data.
2. Why choose an organised group tour over independent travel?
In many ways this is simply a matter of personal preference or dependent on the nature and location of your travels.
Group tours remove all the hassle of organising transport, accomodation, activities and visiting attractions -
with most things organised for you, you can get on with appreciating and experiencing the country you're visiting.
This also allows you to pack more into your holiday if time is a limiting factor. For those travelling alone, group tours
also allow you to travel with like-minded people and share experiences.
The location and nature of your holiday is also an important factor. Certain regions in the world such as Africa and
Central Asia lack the tourist infrastructure found in more popular areas like Latin America and Southeast Asia which makes independent
travel there difficult or off-limits to most travellers. Similarly, cruises to places like Antarctica or the Galapagos Islands
and many trekking holidays can only be taken as part of an organised tour.
3. Why is there such a difference in prices between similar tours?
As a general rule, you'll get what you pay for, so read the details of the tour itinerary carefully.
Firstly, check whether flights to your destination are included in the price. Then check the style of the tour -
for convenience we have classified the tours on our site into three broad categories -
Budget, Standard and Comfort. You'll pay more for
tours with more high-end accomodation, those which include internal flights rather than overland travel etc. In Africa and other locations
overland travel and camping is significantly cheaper than staying in hotels or lodges. It's also important to check what activities
and visits are included in the tour itinerary - some may be optional extras which will require you to pay more to partake.
Some tours also require compulsory local payments (paid in cash to the tour leader at the beginning of the tour)
in addition to the up front cost.
4. I'm travelling alone - are group tours suitable for me?
Absolutely. Roughly half the people who join group tours are solo travellers, so it's easy to integrate with the group
and meet new and like-minded people. There are no compulsory single supplements on the vast majority of the tours we feature on
Frontiers of Travel - you will share rooms with another traveller of the same sex, though many tours offer the option to room on your
own at an extra cost.
5. How can I find out more about what it's like to travel on a group tour?
Check out It's Not A Holiday - The A-Z Guide to Group Travel - the new book by Andy Robinson & Kirsty McGregor at
Black Frog Publishing. Andy and Kirsty have years of experience as tour leaders
and have produced this essential guide for anyone travelling on a group tour. Fun and informative, it will help you understand more about what
group tours involve - different types available, what happens on tour and offers advice to help you make the most of your time away from home.
It introduces 20 stereotypical characters you will find on your tour and highlights the A-Z of group travel through real stories and humorous
anecdotes from their experience on the road.
