Yes, you sure can. Just send us an email ahead of time to ensure availability at the hotel or to recommend alternative accommodation if the hotel has sold out.

Please make sure you are happy with your group trip itinerary before booking because we are unable to change them for individual travellers. You can choose to opt out of some activities and we generally provide free time outside of the group itinerary. Alternatively we could plan an individual itinerary as a private trip at an additional cost.

Although you won’t be reimbursed for any portion of the trip unused, you can opt to sign off the trip if you need to leave a day or so earlier. If you let us know before travel that you’ll be arriving late or need to leave before the trip ends, we will notify our team on the ground to best accommodate your requirements.

This is the beauty of Epic Travel tours: Many of our travellers join because they are travelling solo and want to meet and share experiences with like-minded people.

Yes you can request this at the time of booking, at an extra cost. Generally our group trips are designed on a twin share basis so that you get to know other awesome travellers.

It’s important that you always travel with your current passport, visas, travel insurance and Epic Travel Tours Travel Information.

This covers all expenses including, ground transportation, meals, accommodation, professional photography  and excursions for the duration of your stay

Airfares, health and travel insurances, optional extras, anything not mentioned on the booking page

The total charge is per person as this covers all expenses including, ground transportation, meals, accommodation, professional photography and excursions for the duration of your stay

You can send us an email, detailing your request in advance, and we will attempt as much as possible to meet these or make recommendations depending on the request.

We will try our very hardest to accommodate all dietary requirements but in some out-of-the-way places it can be very difficult to guarantee. We will let you know if there are places on your itinerary where this is the case. Please let us know at the time of booking of any food requirements or allergies and we’ll pass the information onto your leader. It is also a great idea to bring a card with your dietary requirements written in the local language for those times you are eating away from the group.

We strongly recommend all travellers are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation and have a policy that also covers COVID-19, personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage or personal effects.  We highly recommend purchasing full coverage, cancel for any reason travel insurance to ensure that you are covered during the trip. We typically provide a full list of travel insurance options for you to choose from, however, purchasing travel insurance is your responsibility.

Find out more about the latest information on travel documents and visa requirements, plus local government COVID-19 vaccination and quarantine policies in your email information pack. Destination specific general vaccination requirements can be found under the Medical and Health Information of each trip’s Essential Trip Information. 

Covid-testing is only required if the destination you are travelling to mandates it. Some destinations may also require vaccinated travellers to present a negative COVID test upon entry. Travellers are responsible for all COVID testing costs and must be prepared to show test results to any parties that require them on tour including, but not limited to, airlines and other suppliers.

No. Epic Travel Tours does not require travellers to be vaccinated, however, vaccination requirements are subject to change based on governmental requirements and safety guidelines.Your email information pack will have all the details once you have secured your deposit.

We require all travellers to wear a mask on tour if and when required by local law, other relevant authorities, or at the direction of Epic Travel Tours staff.

Some aspects of your tour experience might be impacted by local restrictions such as businesses operating at reduced hours and/or reduced capacity, weather conditions or other extenuating circumstances. In some rare cases, we may need to adjust the itinerary. Restrictions and itinerary adjustments will be communicated to travellers before departure.

While we do include information in our Essential Trip Information about visa requirements and provide additional information about visa and health requirements in our emails, we always recommend that passengers check with their local embassy as visa rules can change without warning. Embassy websites in your home country will always have information about requirements, visa costs and will provide the required forms. If you are uncomfortable with the visa process, you can visit a travel agent who can arrange these for you at a cost.

Please contact the relevant local embassy, or visit a travel agent, to organise your visa/s.

Epic Travel Tours can assist with visas in some instances. Please contact us to find out more.

There are certain destinations, such as Central Asia and Iran, where you will need support documentation from Epic Travel Tours  in order to apply for your visa. The ‘visa section’ of your Essential Trip email Information will include information about what you need to send to us (scanned passports, employment letters etc.)

Our Essential Trip email Information includes a section on ‘Spending money’. Please refer to this for an idea on budgets. Travellers’ cheques are not common practice anymore so it is a good idea to travel with a credit card and ATM card, or a bank issued ‘cash card’ specifically for travel. Having a couple of options will assure that you are covered if one doesn’t work. In certain countries it comes down to potluck if you can withdraw money. One day it’ll work, the next it won’t, but it will work for your friend… Go figure! Visa cards are more widely accepted than Mastercard, particularly in Cuba where only Visa cards are accepted.

Yes! We have group and referral discounts to make it even easier to afford your trip. Refer a friend and get $50 off of your next trip with us!

We do have a rewards system for our loyal clients and affiliates. Find out more here.

Generally we email you with all the relevant country information once you have paid your deposit. This includes details about the weather, suitable clothing, amenities, currency and acceptable forms of payment, wifi and connectivity.
