Please familiarise yourself with our products. Take time to read through the website. This will allow you to answer any questions your clients may have.

We answer the phone late in the evening in case of emergencies. We appreciate if you can call us to make bookings within office hours.

We pay a commission for all tour bookings to whoever has made the booking. For us the concept of a booking is that you are doing our job for us, so you need to provide us with all the below information in a clear and concise manner and after confirmation and payment, commission will be deducted from the booking fee or paid.

If you call us to tell us some clients will call us to book, then you do not get a commission. The commission is paid to the person who made the booking, so if this is the clients themselves then the commission is not applicable.
