Egypt Day Tours - Booking A Holiday, Tour Or Vacation In Egypt
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
In my capacity as the UK Director of Operations for One World Tours Limited, over time, it came to my attention as to what a minefield in can be booking a vacation in a destination like Egypt through the myriad of "internet" based travel companies; particularly local Egyptian companies
I consequently though it might be helpful to suggest a sort of "checklist" of points to seek out and questions to ask "prospective" holiday suppliers.
1. Are they a vacation agent or a Tour operator?
Especially at a local level, service from a tour operator is often higher than that of an agent as tour booked through local agents "can" risk the reality that the agent is purely transferring on your booking to some 3rd party. This isn't usually the case, but it is some thing to consider. Comeback if you have issues is also to be considered as an agent can blame the third party and vice versa.
2. Do they require a deposit or are they providing payment in full on arrival?
If the company you are potentially booking through accept payment in full on arrival, it indicates one thing - you aren't booked. Will a business risk booking hotels, tour guides, drivers and so on on the opportunity you may really show up ?
3. Do they accept credit cards as payment?
This really is important whether you're preparing on paying that way. Accepting credit cards (especially in travel fields) will usually imply the company has been pretty well vetted and definitely will provide you some added assurances (and obviously safety)
4. Do they offer Testimonials?
The second half of this query maybe the most important part, "Do they provide Testimonials.and can you contact them"? If their testimonials are true then surely there is no reason why they can't be reached.
5. Do they have a acknowledged complaints procedure?
Any forward thinking and truthful company will know that there will definitely be the odd issue. Getting a complaints procedure available shows that the business will not simply try and fob you off, but from the ground up, they'll try to relatively take care of any difficulties you might have.
Hopefully these 5 things might help you with respect to your future plans when thinking about a trip to a country such as Egypt.
