SMALL GROUP SIZES, GUARANTEED DEPARTURES & SOLO TRAVELLERS While our group sizes can vary (on average from 6 – 15 depending on the destination), to ensure you can travel at the time that suits you best, our Tours have guaranteed departures with a minimum of two travellers (excluding our best selling Cherry Blossom & Garden, and Japan Golden Route Tours). If you are travelling as a single passenger, we will try our best to match you with another solo traveller at the same time in order for your tour to go ahead. If we are unable to confirm the minimum numbers required to operate certain tours, we will reconfirm the running of the tour for you as soon as possible!

As a solo traveller, you still have the option for single room accommodation once the minimum departure numbers are met. Single Supplements are the extra costs when travelling solo but staying in twin share accommodation. The cost is often nearly the same amount as two people travelling, however we discount this to as little as possible to ensure value for money when travelling on your own.

AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCESOur itineraries are designed to show you the best unique and authentic experiences. While we include all the popular must see attractions and experiences, we also include lesser known experiences such as the Face Changing Cultural Show, or Sundowners in the Serengeti. If there is something on your bucket list that isn’t included in one of our tours, let us know! We can tailor tours to suit your needs and always add on a pre or post stay to give you the best experience possible. You could also add on a fantastic Pre or Post Excursion to experience more of a fantastic destination, or even a completely different place!

DELICIOUS LOCAL CUISINEOne of the highlights of touring in a different country, is the variety of traditional local cuisine that is on offer. Breakfast is often a combination of Western and local food, usually served in a buffet style. Our tours also include delicious local meals that allow you to taste a variety of the most popular foods in the region. Your local guides will assist you in getting a table at the most authentic and quaint eateries, so you don’t need to worry about no availability at the best restaurants – often a concern on bigger tours.

PROFESSIONAL DESTINATION GUIDESAnother fantastic benefit of touring is the personal service you receive from your tour guides. Our experienced English speaking guides pass on their in-depth and often local knowledge of your fantastic destinations. They also handle daily arrangements, coordinate with each local exhibition, assist you on and off the coach, and help at check in. We provide contact numbers for all our guides, offering 24-hour assistance should you require it while travelling. In some destinations we can even offer bilingual guides to suit your requirements.

TRANSPORTATION OPTIONSDuring your tour, your comfort and enjoyment are of the utmost importance! Our Tours use a variety of transportation methods, from modern air-conditioned automobiles, full service airlines, and cruise lines that offer 5* service. You may also travel by modern High Speed Rail or Bullet Train, as well as popular Cable Cars or Ropeways.

TO TIP OR NOT TO TIP?Something a lot of travellers to Asia (& Beyond!) worry about, is tipping required? Coming from a country where tipping isn’t common, it can be daunting trying to understand if it is necessary when visiting a different country. We eliminate the confusion by including tipping for you in most of our Tour Packages. In many of the regions we visit, tipping is an expected and essential part of receiving any service. Our experienced tour guides rely on tipping to supplement their income, however the amount can vary depending on group size, tour duration, and the services provided. By including tipping in your package, we ensure that our guides are receiving the correct amount for their excellent service. If tipping isn’t included in your package, your final documents will let you know the recommended amount, however it is at your own discretion.

THE LITTLE EXTRASBefore your Tour commences, you will receive your final travel documents. These documents may include (if applicable) your air ticket, a detailed day by day tour itinerary including your accommodation details, your 24 hour emergency contact details, destination information booklets and maps (if available), and your complimentary travel wallet and luggage tags. We’ll make sure you have everything you need for the trip of a lifetime!

Escorted TravelWe’re known for our Escorted & Fully Inclusive Small Group Tours. Where, everything is organised in our air & land packages including international and domestic economy class airfares, any cruise or train tickets, quality accommodation, delicious local meals, airconditioned transfers, professional English speaking local guides, all entrance and monument fees, tipping for your guides and drivers, and more! One of the biggest benefits of travelling on a Small Group Tour, is the personal and attentive service you receive from our guides. You will also be travelling with other guests that share similar interests with you, helping you to make new friends along the way!

Modular TravelIf you would like a little more independence or would just prefer not to have everything included, our modular tours have been put together for you:

� They will use a series of day tours, accommodation & transportation. � Coaches will generally pick up and drop off guests from selected hotels,

or you may need to meet at a dedicated pick-up point or you may even be dropped in a central area to make your own way home. They allow you to see the best sights in our fantastic destinations, while giving you extra freedom to explore on your own.

� They are also more budget friendly, as you can choose your own methods of transportation, make your own way to hotels, or decide where you would like to eat.

� You could even pick from our range of Excursions to make your own tour.

MW TOURS CAN ASSIST YOU WITH ALL YOUR TRAVELLING NEEDS. FROM 100% TAILOR MADE PACKAGES, TO OUR FULLY INCLUSIVE ESCORTED TRAVEL, THERE IS SOMETHING TO SUIT EVERY TRAVELLER.

Although they look like a tour, they actually operate on an independent basis, which means you could be with different people & guides each day, due to their size capabilities, which offer competitive pricing with maximum flexibility. It’s important to check all the inclusions and exclusions for each of these tours as they will vary a lot, depending on the location.

Seat in Coach (SIC) TravelMany destinations often offer group tours that can be joined by travellers from all over the world. Known as SIC Tours, they allow English speaking travellers to join an escorted tour, with a National Guide who can best show you the highlights of a destination. MW Tours sell these tours on behalf of local suppliers and we only use the best SIC Tour providers to ensure our high standards are met. It’s important to note that these tours are mainly for first time travellers, so it’s best to keep in mind that they aim to show you as much as possible in a short period of time. Travel times each day may be as long as 12hrs to ensure you make the most of your experience.

Tailor-made (FIT) TravelIf our tours don’t have what you want, we can customise an itinerary that meets your needs! Whether you are a solo traveller, making arrangements for school groups or families, or have a club with special interests (Craft enthusiasts or Foodies, we’re looking at you!), our friendly Travel Consultants are here to help. Our FIT Tours can be organised in which ever way you want, allowing you the freedom to choose the style and budget that suits you the most.

Travelling on vehicles without seatbelts may occur. Seatbelts may not be compulsory by law in

some destinations featured by our company and therefore the locals may choose not to wear

them. For this reason, local operators may or may not have seatbelts in vehicles or they may be

hidden underneath protective seat covers. It is recommended that where seatbelts are available

customers must use them and remain seated at all times while the vehicle is moving. As such,

customers warrant that they shall not make any claim howsoever arising from injury or damage

in respect of, arising from or contributed to by the absence of seatbelts and hereby release MW

or flight cancellations are subject to the airlines policy and are outside MW Tours control.

The free checked baggage allowance for economy class passengers is normally 23-30KG per

person to Asia in accordance with international airline regulations. Some airlines have increased

luggage allowance. Please refer to your Air Ticket copy for the actual luggage allowance. Any

excess baggage charges will be at own cost of each and every passenger.

Airline schedules from different cities vary so travellers from some cities may need to make their

own way to another capital city to join the tour or may require pre- or post-tour accommodation,

a stopover or have a lengthy transit en-route to their destination. Any cost for accommodation,

transportation or meals incurred will be at the passengers’ own expense. Our reservations team

can assist with any of these additional services.

24 AIRLINE FUEL LEVY SURCHARGEAirlines servicing flights to Asia may charge a fuel levy surcharge, on top of the normal airline

ticket price, in order to cover the increased cost of aviation fuel. As fuel prices have fluctuated,

so too has the amount airlines charge for this levy. At the time of pricing, some airline fuel

surcharges are included in the cost of the fare; however, this amount is subject to change until

your airline ticket is issued.
