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.
