Multi-Day Tours FAQs

Find answers to common tour-booking questions.

Who provides the tours ?

We are working with Musement, part of the TUI network and their unsurpassed network of owned DMCs, to create a unique range of tours in which you can be confident that the quality and service will be top-notch .

What types of tours are available?

We offer four types of tours currently - Guaranteed Departures: These are group tours with specific start dates and are guaranteed to operate, irrespective of the number of participants. This offers agents and clients peace of mind, knowing that their travel plans won't be disrupted due to lack of participation. These tours often cover a comprehensive itinerary, allowing travellers to explore and experience the best of a destination in the company of like-minded individuals. Private Tours: Tailored for individual travellers or small private groups, these tours provide personalised experiences. The itinerary, departure dates, and itinerary are set and include a dedicated guide and private transportation throughout, ensuring an exclusive and in-depth destination exploration. Self-Drive Tours: For clients who prefer independence and freedom, Self-Drive Tours are the perfect choice. These packages include pre-booked accommodation and car rental, allowing travellers to explore independently and make spontaneous detours en route. Itineraries for these tours provide a suggested route with highlighted points of interest, but ultimately, the day-to-day activities are self-guided and customisable. City Breaks: These are short, usually weekend, getaways exploring a single city or region. City Breaks offer a quick escape from routine, often focusing on the highlights of a destination - cultural attractions, gastronomy, nightlife, shopping, etc. These tours are perfect for clients looking for a quick travel fix without committing to an extended itinerary.

How are the Tours sorted?

On our tour search results page, we currently display tours based on their popularity and frequency of bookings to ensure you see the most preferred choices by other agents. We understand the value of customization and ease of search, so we're actively working to implement new filtering and selection tools. These tools, expected very soon, will allow you to refine your search based on various parameters, including price, duration, originating city, type of tour, theme, and target audience. This way, you can find the perfect trip that aligns with your client's preferences and needs. Room-Res continually strives to improve your experience and equip you with the tools to deliver the best value to your clients.

Planning your client’s tour

Will the travellers have the same tour guide for the entire tour?

Tours typically have a consistent tour guide for the entire tour duration. This guide is responsible for leading the group, providing information about destinations, and assisting with logistics. However, in some cases (e.g. multi-country tours or specialised segments), a local guide may join the group temporarily for a specific location or activity. In contrast, the leading guide oversees the broader tour.

What client demographics are catered to?

Tailored tours typically appeal to a wide variety of clients, including couples, families, solo travellers, seniors, retirees, adventure seekers, luxury travellers, and those on a budget. To determine if a tour suits your clients, please refer to the tour-level guide at the top right of the screen.

Are you able to modify a tour?

Tailored touring typically offers a variety of set options, including fixed itineraries, accommodations, and activities. However, depending on the specific tour and its booking policies, there may be some opportunities for customisation. This could involve adding optional excursions or experiences, upgrading accommodation, or making special requests. Sometimes, you may also have the option to book a private version of a group tour, allowing you to make slight adjustments to the schedule or activities.

Can I upgrade the hotel's room type or add/pre-post nights?

Check the tour listing for room upgrades and pre- or post-tour nights. For an existing reservation, open the booking in Reservations & Sales and use the enquiry option shown for that booking, or contact Support with the Booking ID. The team can check availability and pricing before any change is confirmed.

Can I book a single passenger?

Where a single room rate is offered, select one passenger in the booking window and choose that rate. Check the tour listing for minimum and maximum passenger numbers and any single supplement.

Is the hotel I see in the tour description the one I will be staying in?

Typically, the hotel named in your booking will be the one where your clients will stay. However, please note that the hotel is subject to change, and the final details will be provided in the invitation letter.

When will I receive the passenger documentation?

Documentation timing depends on the selected tour. Contact Support to confirm when the invitation letter and passenger documents will be issued, or to request them earlier.

Are there any optional activities offered, and if so, how do I book them?

Check the tour itinerary for optional activities. For an existing reservation, open the booking in Reservations & Sales and use the enquiry option shown for that booking, or contact Support with the Booking ID. The team can check the available options and pricing.

When do the client's Passport and Flight details need to be provided?

Check the supplier’s requirements and the deadline shown for your tour. Provide passport and flight information as soon as possible and update changed details promptly. Contact Support if the information is not yet available or you need to confirm the deadline.

Which company operates the tours?

Tailored Touring is backed by Musement, a member of TUI.

Check the inclusions, deposit, payment and cancellation conditions displayed for your selected tour before confirming. Contact Support if you need clarification.
