“Private” and “tailor-made” do not specify what will be delivered. Before paying, establish which services are confirmed, which are preferences and who is responsible. Use the same questions when comparing proposals.
First provide dates, traveller numbers, children's ages, arrival and departure cities, fixed flights and practical walking limits. State the budget currency and whether it is per person or total, with or without international flights. Name your three main interests and unwanted elements such as shopping stops or frequent hotel changes.
Ask for answers you can check:
Who supplies the trip? The contracting entity's full name, relevant operating credentials and actual service providers.
What is private? Vehicle and guide hours, any shared activities, and days without an escort.
What hotel is included? Property or substitution standard, room type, beds, breakfast and occupancy.
What if tickets are unavailable? The proposed alternative, price adjustment and approval process.
What if weather stops an activity? Which elements can change and who pays any difference.
Who handles problems? A named contact, working hours and a backup contact.
“English service” needs clarification: does it mean an English-speaking guide each day, remote assistance or an English-speaking driver? Describe mobility needs concretely rather than only saying that an older person is travelling.
Request a dated itinerary, quotation and cancellation terms. Check that all three use the same dates and group size. Where a hotel, vehicle or permit remains unconfirmed, ask for the confirmation deadline and the outcome if it cannot be obtained. Share passport information only through a verified channel when necessary.
