If you want to book your tours with a TA via the internet, pleasedo so only with a TA who has been recommended to you. I have already shared my experiences with doing this and so have one or two other BBer's. It is not worth the expense ($700.00 in my case)when things go off track!

This does not sound right to me. I feel it is more likely that it was in the too hard to do basket. The G trips we booked through the US were only offered in NZ on the G NZ web site there was no other advertising anywhere and 2 x TA's had no idea about it. But one did check and yes we could purchase through a NZ agent if we wished. But we saved $NZ3,000 by going through the US even with the extra $NZ900 we had to pay for changing our airfares.

Totally agree with this statement - and even then only if you are totally aware and accept all 'known' snags. This message has been edited. Last edited by: Cottontail, Next trip: Egypt/Jordan/Israel or Italy+ ??? ~ decisions, decisions...... |

Exactly - and there is not much we can do about that. We noticed a huge jump in the NZ prices from 2006 to 2007. This message has been edited. Last edited by: Cottontail, Next trip: Egypt/Jordan/Israel or Italy+ ??? ~ decisions, decisions...... |

When we originally looked at booking the tours through G in the US they wanted $US65  to courier our docs to us. This was one of the reasons why we went elsewhere  This message has been edited. Last edited by: Cottontail, Next trip: Egypt/Jordan/Israel or Italy+ ??? ~ decisions, decisions...... |

I am flying to England next August and will be based there for 2-3 months and want to do a tour of Europe from London. I have learned the difference between booking a Trafalgar tour in Australia as opposed to England is $800.
I am inclined to book from England and have been in touch with an agent via email. As I intend to travel single supplement it would be worth my while to book from England. I too would be interested in why the difference if rates. Margaret. |

I don't think its anything more than TT estimating at the time of print the exchange rate. Well I hope thats all there is to it otherwise it would be that they are 'loading' the southern hemisphere prices for ? reason.Next trip: Egypt/Jordan/Israel or Italy+ ??? ~ decisions, decisions...... |

The difference in price is huge though- especially if you times it by 2 for a couple. I would love to know why. After all we all leave from the same place and finish at the same place. It is not as if it includes airfares.

It was Trafalgar who gave me this answer. I may well be able to get my Travel Agent to arrange it from here - I haven't asked her. I will check when we decide to do that trip though.
