Why do some tours begin on “Day 1” and others on “Day 2”?
All tours begin on the same day. However, most tours do include the overnight airplane ride to the destination as the first day of the tour. If you purchase your own air, then you will be expected to meet with your tour group on Day 2, the first day of the actual tour on land. Since USA tours do not have an overnight flight, those tours begin on day 1 for all passengers, regardless of air ticket purchase.
