Frequently Asked Questions
A collection of frequently asked questions by our participants along with answers
1. Can I join the trip under the age of 21?
Yes. Everyone who is 18 can join us.
2. How much pocket-money will I need?
Most of the expenses are included in the price. Everyone is obliged to pay 2 USD/ per day to tip our bus driver. In some of the hotels we will be staying at there is a breakfast provided. Other than that you'll need some money for your own meals. We have found that the cost is approximately 20 USD/ per day per person.
There is also 3 optional tours you can participate:
1) Antelope Canyon: 70 USD/ per person
2) Cruise to Alcatraz and tour inside the prison: 50 USD/ per person
3) Universal Studios: 150 USD/ per person
3. When there are no meals included in our hotel stay will we have opportunities to stop for some food?
Everyday we stop at least two times for shopping or to have a meal. We usually take you to Walmart, Target or similar stores. Sometimes there might be supermarkets right next to our accommodations. Most of the days we also stop for lunch or dinner in places where you can find many restaurants e.g. McDonald, Burger King, Taco Bell, In-N-Out Burger, Panda Express buffets etc. Everyday our tour operators will inform you about our planned stops for following day.
4. Can I join later or leave earlier from the trip? If it's possible do I get any discount?
We usually avoid such situations. However, in the event that you are unable to participate in the entire trip, we offer a 50 USD discount for the unused day or days. We would like to point out that no matter how many days of the Trip you miss, the discount is always the same 50 USD.
