Individual Tour Grades
Each of our tours is given an individual tour rating depending on the following five aspects.
Fitness How physical is the tour? This is rated from 1-5 with 5 being the most physically challenging. If this is a concern, give us a call and we can talk through why the tour has a certain fitness level rating. All of our tours are suitable for any reasonably fit adult.
Off the beaten track (OBT) A higher off the beaten track rating can reflect the standards of health, safety and operational standards, particularly of hotels and transport, which often are not up to levels we have come to expect. We require that all the properties and transport we use comply fully with local regulations, but we do not guarantee the same standards as in your home country. Also a high off the beaten track rating can be reflected in the relative number of tourists that visit the country. The lower the rating the more tourists you are likely to encounter.
Culture Is there a lot of cultural activity on this tour? Rated 1-5 with 5 being the most cultural. The higher the rating the more the tours focus on arts, festivals, beliefs and all other aspects of human work and thought.
History Does the tour visit many historical sites? We have again rated this from 1-5 with 5 being the most historical. These will include UNESCO heritage as well as local archaeological sites, castles and forts and places of historical significance.
Wildlife Is there a wildlife focus to this tour? The more that the tour focuses on wildlife, the higher the rating from 1-5 with 5 having the greatest wildlife focus. This can be trekking in a rainforest looking for lemurs in Madagascar, spotting the Ethiopian wolf or spending time with gorillas in Uganda.
Our Pace of Travel
To help you choose the perfect adventure holiday we have given each of our tours a pace rating. These ratings are a description of the overall pace of the tour and should be considered along with the detailed daily tour itinerary.
Relaxed Relaxed tours are easy paced with plenty of leisure time built in. Although the tour will in all probability still be off the beaten track, in general on a relaxed pace tour you can enjoy mostly easy-going activities and experiences with opportunities to absorb the sights and immerse yourself in the local surroundings.
Moderate Moderate pace tours are ideal if you want a tour experience that combines exciting activities and experiences with some time to relax. Typically you will be active and busy for part of the day but then also have time to rest and recharge your batteries. On some tours the split between activity and relaxation may be more extreme. For example on some tours you could be doing some hiking in a national park in the morning and then have leisure time in the afternoon where you can relax by a pool or spend time on a beach.. On other tours you may be visiting historical sites for part of the day and then have some leisure time later in the day. In general on a moderate paced tour there may be some long journeys involved but the tour is not an expedition or a road trip. On a moderate paced tour it may still be necessary to have some early starts.
Busy If you like to be busy on holiday, with many days full of inspiring experiences and activities, then a busy paced tour will be for you. A busy paced tour means that you can expect to be doing, seeing or experiencing something new almost every day, and moving on from place to place to pack in as much as possible. There may be early starts, long journeys and tiring days along the way, but you’ll return home feeling you’ve really experienced as much as you possibly could. Even on busy paced tours there may be some time to relax but in general leisure time is limited.
