FAQ

What are the Trip Descriptors?

We created the travel descriptors to categorize our itineraries by a few different parameters that make it easier for our readers to identify if the specific trip aligns with the travel style they are looking for! Read the other FAQ to get more information about each of the different categories.

 

While our original itinerary is designed with these in mind, feel free to ask about how to modify these trips to suit your needs on our Contact page. We are happy to provide customized recommendations.
