Do you need a guide or porters? Do you have to join an organized tour?

The Inca Trail FAQ
In practical terms, there's no need for a guide as the trail is fairly clear and well signposted where necessary. However, new regulations are now in force which make it mandatory to travel with either a licensed guide or an organized tour. You're not obliged to join an organized tour, but if you want to travel independently, you'll need to get some other walkers together and hire a guide jointly. Solo walking no longer seems to be an option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our travel counselors use an on-line booking engine to search available flights for your invoice at the time of booking. Unfortunately, this engine is not available for all tour start / end combinations, or may occasionally return an error message to the travel counselor if it was unsuccessful at booking the air. At this point, another system must be checked, which is not a "real time" system.

When a food addict is convinced that abstinence is the answer to recovering from food addiction, she/he will be able to go anywhere and remain abstinent. Traveling abstinently does take extra planning to ensure that we have the foods we need when we need them.

What is the difference between a tour guide and a driver-guide?

Rome italy Limousines & Tours, Car Services in Rome,Italy:to...
For those of you who are booking private tours for the first time, perhaps a little clarification would help. A tour driver and a tour guide are not the same thing. It is to your advantage when booking a private tour to be sure that you understand the difference and know in advance what you are paying for. A tour guide has a license (usually issued by the state / country). He/she has attended a "guide" school to learn all about the historical sites that you will see and visit.

Frequently Asked Questions - Rome in Limo
A guide- driver and a tour guide are different. A tour guide has a license, released by the City Hall. They got a degree after having passed a state exam. A guide allowed to go into the historical sites with you and tell you all the most specific information about the sites you are visiting . Their service is separated from the driver cost. A guide- driver is not licensed, has not attended specific schools and is not allowed to go inside the site telling you about the history.
