CITO We are members of CITO, the Consortium of Independent Tour Operators. This is a select organisation of proven quality operators throughout the country which have satisfied strict membership criteria.

Tour Escorts are not "guides" but are there to assist passengers, wherever needed, to ensure their comfort and safety throughout the tour. On some tours, a local Tour Guide will be hired to provide commentary on excursions and places of interest. This will be shown in the "Price Includes" panel.
