What are optional excursions and when do I purchase them?
Optional excursions are side excursions that are offered to clients to enhance their experience. Examples of these are the Moulin Rouge in Paris, a Mozart/Strauss concert in Vienna or a fabulous ascent of the Klein Matterhorn in Zermatt. They can be purchased at the beginning of the tour through your tour director. Whilst we include a great deal of excursions in all tours, we cannot and would not want to include everything. We understand that free time and personal choice are important and we leave it up to you to decide the perfect balance of included activities and time on your own. Payment can be made by cash (in local currency or Sterling), travellers cheques or credit cards, except tours to Russia where cash or travelers checks are preferred.
