✈️ FAQTours & travel: your questions, answered
Straight answers to the questions and worries people have before they buy.
Are small-group tours worth it?
For first-time visitors, solo travellers or complex destinations, many people find the logistics and local leaders worth the price.
Is Booking.com safe to use?
It's widely used, but its Trustpilot score is low (1.4/5), mostly about customer service. Keep confirmations and contact properties directly if needed.
Do I need travel insurance?
Smartraveller strongly recommends it. We don't give insurance advice, so compare policies and read the PDS.
How do I budget per day?
Daily spend covers food, local transport and activities. Use our calculator with your own figures.
