Traveler's FAQ

Traveling to a new place brings with it lots of questions. Here are some of the questions we’re often asked by guests, on topics from how to book and pay, what to pack, and even what to say!

HOW DO I BOOK AND PAY FOR MY TOUR?

Tour With Absolutely is based in France so prices are quoted and invoiced in euros.
Payment is made by credit/debit card. The invoice is issued by email containing a link to proceed with secure payment using your card.

I WANT TO BOOK A TOUR. IS MY FLIGHT INCLUDED?

We do not make flight arrangements but provide airport transfers. 

Do I need Travel Insurance?

Yes, absolutely. All our clients must have travel insurance. We recommend Atlas Travel Medical, who provide:
– COVID-19 coverage outside your home country.
– A choice between the basic and more extensive coverage.
– coverage that meets Schengen visa insurance requirements.
– 24/7 worldwide travel and emergency medical assistance.

MY PASSPORT IS DUE TO EXPIRE. CAN I STILL COME ON A TOUR?

Your passport must be valid for at least six months prior to departure date.

DO I NEED A VISA?

No, visas are not required for American and Canadian citizens for up to 90-day stays in Europe and Morocco. For other nationalities, check here: Visa Quick Check

DO I NEED TO BRING TRAVELERS CHECKS?

No travelers cheques: simply withdraw cash from an ATM.

WHAT SHOULD I PACK?

Plug adapter, Phone chargers, medication, hat, sunscreen, bug repellent, comfortable walking shoes. 

WHEN DO I TIP FOR SERVICE?

Restaurants (not compulsory, if particularly good service, 5%)
Guides (customary to tip 30 euros for a half day and 50 euros for a full day; if a group tour tip coach drivers 30 euros a half day, 50 euros a full day.)

MEAL TIMES 

The Europeans do not usually serve full breakfasts in cafés. They will have a cup of coffee with a croissant or pain au chocolat.

Lunch is served from 12pm to 1.30pm. You can stay longer to chat but you must arrive before 1.30pm to order.

Dinner is served from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. You can stay longer but you must order 9.30pm.

It is not easy to find takeaways except for towns frequented by tourists.
