Other important information

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
Copenhagen
Copenhagen in June and July offers pleasant summer weather, making it an ideal time to visit. In June, average daytime high temperatures typically reach around 19-20°C (66-68°F), while nights are cooler, dropping to about 11-13°C (52-55°F). It's one of the sunniest months with ample daylight hours (around 17-18 hours), and while there's a moderate chance of rain, showers are usually brief. The city's beaches and harbor baths become popular as the sea temperature begins to warm up. Moving into July, Copenhagen experiences its warmest period, with average daytime highs often reaching 20-21°C (68-70°F), and comfortable evening lows around 13-16°C (55-61°F). July continues to offer long daylight hours and plenty of sunshine, though it can be slightly wetter than June with a higher chance of scattered showers. Both months are generally considered comfortable and mild, perfect for exploring the city's outdoor attractions and enjoying the vibrant summer atmosphere.

Svalbard  
Svalbard in June and July experiences its brief but intense "polar summer," characterized by 24-hour daylight due to the Midnight Sun and the mildest temperatures of the year. In June, average daily high temperatures typically hover around 3°C to 5°C, with lows dipping to about -1°C to 1°C. While snow melting begins, it can still feel quite chilly, and some areas may retain snow cover. Moving into July, it's the warmest month, with average daily highs reaching approximately 6°C to 8°C, and lows around 2°C to 4°C. Days above 10°C are rare, but the continuous daylight and relatively "warm" conditions compared to the rest of the year make it the prime time for wildlife viewing, hiking on exposed tundra, and exploring by boat as sea ice recedes. Despite being summer, visitors should always be prepared for cold, windy, and potentially damp conditions, with layering essential.

Tromso
In June, Tromso, Norway, experiences cool but generally mild weather as it transitions into summer. The average daily temperature typically ranges from a high of around 10°C to 11°C (50-52°F) and a low of around 4°C to 5°C (39-41°F). While it's one of the warmer months for Tromso, it can still feel quite cold and breezy, so layers and a jacket are recommended. A significant draw for visiting Tromso in June is the midnight sun, with 24 hours of daylight, making it an excellent time for outdoor activities. There is also a moderate chance of rain, with an average of 10-16 days with some rainfall throughout the month

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

A relaxed level of fitness will be required. 
Expect a comfortable pace of touring with a focus on leisure time and gentle activity. This may include city tours, the ability to walk up and down small flights of stairs and gentle slopes.

Please note: Some areas may be inaccessible to wheelchairs or mobility scooters, with personal walking sticks and other aids required should they be needed. Although some assistance may be available, every traveller should be self-reliant during all aspects of their travel.

Yellow Fever:
A valid international certificate of vaccination against Yellow Fever is required in many countries. You may need to present this on arrival at the airport or border crossing. Some countries will refuse entry if you are unable to present your certificate. It's also common for your home country to request a Yellow Fever certificate upon arrival.
You must check with your doctor well before leaving home about the Yellow Fever requirements for the countries you'll be visiting.

Sightseeing:
Please note: If entry to a site is affected by changes in operating hours or public holiday closures, your itinerary, where possible, may be adjusted, or a similar activity will be offered in its place (subject to availability).
