    I realised from the start that this was very much a transport tour from A to B to C. No information provided on any place we were visiting. No welcome meeting or safety guidance. A mugging incident occurred with two passengers in the early hours which might have been prevented with just some cursory advance local knowledge. I asked the tour leader for some help trying to plan some visits for my free time and was snapped at by the tour leader for taking up her time and there wasn’t only me to cater for (she had a group of 11 and a deputy tour leader who was learning the ropes) We had 15 minutes to visit one of the San Antonio Missions - barley enough time to get off and back on the bus - followed by a 40 minutes stop at Walgreens! When I felt things came to a head - I was rudly told by the tour leader - I was on the wrong tour because I liked museums and art galleries in my free time. I have travelled with countless tour companies and this tour was seriously lacking in any communication and control

    Ali

    Asked on March 24th, 2025

    Is it possible to pay the deposit off in installments

    Payments
    • Travelling TimeOperatorWritten March 2025

      To ensure your spot is reserved and the essential services are booked, such as your king bed option for two people on the 28th of September 2026, the deposit needs to be paid in one go. The total amount for your selected adventure is NZ $9,026.44, and the full deposit required upon booking is NZ $2,707.93. This deposit cannot be paid in installments, as it secures your reservation and is non-refundable in the event of a cancellation. However the remaining amount NDZ $6.318,51 can be paid in two week installements until 20 Jul, 2026 if you wish, which you can choose at the time of booking.
