What type of people will be on my tour?
A typical group is made up of international mix of travellers, 4 - 8 persons in size. Our passengers come from all walks of life and from all over the English speaking world. Our group tours suit the spirited traveller, so you're likely to have plenty in common with other memebers of the group before you even meet. We attract many solo travellers, some couples and from time to time, groups of friends.
