Travel Tip Tuesday
Don’t book excursions based on photos alone.
Photos show the highlight reel — not the full experience.
Before you book, make sure you know what you’re actually signing up for:
- How long is the day really? (total time + travel time)
- What’s included vs extra? (food, drinks, gear, entry fees, tips)
- What’s the physical level? (walking, stairs, heat, water conditions)
- How big is the group? (private, small group, or “bus tour energy”)
- What’s the cancellation policy? (especially in weather-sensitive spots)
The goal isn’t to overthink — it’s to avoid the “this is not what I expected” moment.
