TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group. 

Tour Leader
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined. 

Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured. 

CLIMATE & AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
Tromso
In Tromsø, Norway, June and July bring mild temperatures with long daylight hours due to the Midnight Sun. Average temperatures in June range from 7°C to 13°C, while in July, they rise slightly to 10°C to 15°C. However, occasional cold spells can bring temperatures below 5°C, especially in early June. Rain is common, with frequent light showers, and the weather can be unpredictable, shifting between sunshine and overcast skies. Despite the cool temperatures, the near-constant daylight creates a unique and vibrant atmosphere, ideal for outdoor activities like hiking and wildlife spotting.

Svalbard 
In Svalbard, June and July are the warmest months, but temperatures remain cool, ranging from 1°C to 7°C in June and 3°C to 10°C in July. The archipelago experiences the Midnight Sun, with continuous daylight creating a unique Arctic summer atmosphere. The weather is highly variable, with sudden shifts between sunshine, fog, and occasional rain or snow showers. Winds can be strong, adding to the chill, especially near the coast. Despite the cold, summer is an excellent time for exploring Svalbard’s dramatic landscapes, spotting wildlife like polar bears and Arctic foxes, and experiencing the region’s glaciers and fjords.

Weather
We always suggest referring to an online source for the most up-to-date weather information for your destination/s.

If paying by credit card, please pay close attention to the amount you are being charged and keep all your receipts. Do not make any purchases you are not comfortable with or feel pressured into. If you are uncertain or need assistance with the language barrier, please seek assistance from your Tour Guide/Leader. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions regarding shopping for further information.

• It is also important to note that some areas of employment, such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations, may have additional restrictions in applying for visas. This may, in turn, affect the type of application required.

Embarking on your next trip is exciting, and while you hope the unexpected does not happen, it is best to be prepared. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance when making your booking.
