TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide:
Often locals with intimate knowledge of
an area, its culture, and history. Their role
entails providing commentary, routing the
tour, and seeing that people have a good
time. They are a licensed, qualified expert
who supplies specific information on history,
art, architecture and culture of the city/
village/attraction in which he or she is guiding
the tour. The guide meets the group at the
required place and leaves the group at the end
of the tour, they do not travel with the group.
Tour Leader:
An experienced person tasked with
ensuring the smooth operation of tours,
as well as providing practical support to
passengers throughout the whole trip.
Their role primarily includes assisting with
accommodation, transportation between
locations, and communication with tour
guides in each stop. A tour leader may provide
general guidance around a city or village, and
offer information on the place visited on the
bus, however, they are not required to have
specific knowledge on art, architecture, or
history. They are not allowed to provide a
guided tour or commentary of a city/village/
attraction once there and if caught doing so,
can be fined.
Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a
standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour
leaders/guides will only be made available
when particularly required to enhance the
experience of the destination featured.

Gratuities / Tipping:
Gratuities (tips) are not included in the tour
price for services of the tour leader (when
available) and driver and are optional and at
the customer’s discretion. Any optional extras
purchased onboard the cruise will have up to
an 18% gratuity added.
Sightseeing:
Please note: In the event entrance to a site
is affected by changes in operating hours or
public holiday closures, your itinerary will be
adjusted to ensure you do not miss out on the
experience.
Shopping:
Shopping overseas can be a daunting and
confusing experience, especially when there
is a language barrier. Please be very cautious
when foreign currencies and prices are
involved. If paying by credit card, please pay
close attention to the amount you are being
charged and keep all of your receipts.
Do not make any purchases you are not
comfortable with or feel pressured into. If
you are uncertain or need assistance with the
language barrier, please seek assistance from
your Tour Guide/Leader.
Please refer to our Terms and Conditions in
regards to shopping for further information.
