Frequently Asked Tour Package Questions

Please reach us at Robert@RiverAndVineTravel.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Yes, we offer group travel packages for families, friends, and corporate groups. Contact us for more information on our group packages.


Flights are included in some of our packages, but not all. Please check the package details for information on whether or not flights are included.


Most tour packages include the “big essentials” of your trip, but leave some personal items for you to handle on your own.

Typically included:

  • Accommodations for each night of the tour (often with breakfast, and sometimes other meals). 
  • On‑tour transportation such as motorcoach, rail segments, or internal flights, plus transfers between hotels and included activities. 
  • Scheduled sightseeing: guided tours, entrance fees to listed attractions, and the services of a professional tour director or local guides. 
  • Some extras like baggage handling, taxes, and service charges, depending on the operator. 

Typically not included:

  • International or “getting there” flights, unless you book an air‑inclusive package. 
  • Personal expenses such as shopping, most drinks, and meals that are not shown as included on the itinerary. 
  • Optional excursions or special activities that are offered for an extra fee. 
  • Travel insurance, visas, and tips/gratuities (unless the tour company clearly states they are covered). 


On most guided tours you can expect a mix of structured sightseeing and a few hours of free time most days, often in the range of 2–4 hours to wander, shop, or relax on your own.  Group size depends on the style of tour: traditional coach tours commonly run with about 30–40 travelers, while “small‑group” departures are usually capped around 10–24 guests for a more intimate, flexible experience.  Private group touring is also an option.


Cancellation and refund policies vary by tour company, but most follow the same general pattern: the earlier you cancel, the more you can get back. 

  • Many operators offer a full or high‑percentage refund if you cancel a certain number of days before departure (often 30–60 days out for longer tours, or 24–48 hours for day tours). 
  • As you get closer to the departure date, sliding‑scale penalties usually apply, moving from loss of deposit to 25–50%, then up to 80–100% of the tour price within the last couple of weeks or final days. 
  • Non‑refundable items like issued air tickets, some tickets/permits, and travel protection premiums are often excluded from refunds. 
  • Many companies will fully refund or rebook you at no penalty if they cancel the tour themselves or if there is a major schedule or itinerary change.


The best time to travel depends on the season and the activities you have planned. Contact us for personalized recommendations based on your travel preferences.
