Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

These vehicles are typically used only when the group size falls below 10 guests but the majority of departures operate with 10 guests or more. Please note that it is not possible to confirm in advance whether a smaller vehicle will be used, as this is determined by the final group size closer to the departure date. * GROUND HANDLER: This trip is operated by Marvel Tours.* NOTE: This trip falls under LEVEL 1. Please refer to the Deposit, Payment and Cancellations policies on our website.
