A single supplement is a charge paid by a solo traveler to compensate for the fact there is only one person in a room. If you dont want to pay the single supplement, we will match you with a partner in a twin share room. Over 25% of our travellers are travelling solo so it's not an issue.
It is compulsory that you have travel insurance. You may choose a provider of your choice. We require you to be insured before we can allow you to participate in our tours. Your policy must cover medical costs in case of hospitalisation, emergency travel and repatriation. If you are going on one of our activity holidays, make sure your insurance covers you for this activity. Once you have paid your deposit or full payment, certain fees will apply if you cancel your holiday. Insurance should therefore be organised at the time of booking to protect yourself against unforeseen circumstances that would require you to cancel before travelling. You will need two copies of your policy - the Tour Leader and our Ground Operator will keep one copy each in the unlikely event of an emergency.
We offer family trips to fantastic destinations, with each itinerary planned with children in mind. A big part of a lot of our tours is visiting and experiencing family life in South East Asia so your children will have the chance to experience life with local children first hand. You may also like to inquire about the ages of other young people travelling on your preferred tour to see if there is a good fit with your children. None of our family trips are strenuous.
You could always team up with a group of friends and have a private group tour. It costs the same and provides the ultimate bonding experience for all those inolved.
If you want to take your phone with you, it will work in most major cities. It may not work on some of our more remote journeys but the whole of South East Asia is very well covered now. Check with your service provider before you leave, and remember to get international roaming turned on.
After 18 years of creating unique holiday packages for some of the world’s most iconic tour companies, including Peregrine Adventures, Exodus and Gecko Adventures, FOOTSTEPS IN ASIA now operates South East Asian tours direct to the public under our own brand.
Vaccines and immunisations vary from country to country and may even be specific to activities.We recommend you visit your local doctor and ask a medical professional.
The risk of malaria transmission in South East Asia now is so low that antimalarial medications can be more trouble than protection. There are of course plenty of mosquitoes, and dengue fever transmission has become an increasing problem. Use of day-time repellents, wearing long sleeves and pants, and being generally aware of insects are important protective measures.
Many of the countries we travel through require you have a visa before arrival. This will vary greatly depending on which country you are travelling to and which passport you hold. We will send you a trip-specific pre-departure information pack with your confirmation. This has all the visa information and the best way to obtain them if they are needed.
We will reward your hard work if you can manage to put a travel group of 8 people together by making your trip free of charge. No blackout dates, no exceptions, any tour and any time. We think that's pretty generous.
Aside from medications that you may be using, we recommend you carry personal medical items for managing common minor ailments such as diarrhoea, blisters, cuts and bruises etc.
Yes of course.
For the most part - yes if you like. You will need to email or call us to discuss the specifics first though.
The maximum group size on all trips is 16.
A combination of cash, an ATM card and a credit card as back-up is good.
All of your money will be held in trust and will not be released until the completion of your trip and you have returned home.
