WWW.BAMBAEXPERIENCE.COM

How it works - Simple steps:

TRIP TYPE: INDEPENDENT Most of our Hop-on Hop-off Passes are considered as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Independentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. There is no trip leader to follow around, only local guides for each included experience. You will be on your own travelling independently and at your own pace! There are many like-minded travellers you will meet along the way too. We will pre-book all your transportation and included experiences, the rest will be up to you. Our Happiness Team will always be there to help and answer any questions you may have before, during and after your trip.

TRIP TYPE: GUIDED We also offer Guided Hop-on Hop-off Passes in some specific regions, including Turkey and Australia. With 2-3 departures a week and guides to accompany you, your travel days will be more structured. Travellers with a tight schedule can follow the day by day itinerary and keep the same guide/ driver during the whole journey, or you can hop-on and hop-off anywhere along the route to stay for as long as you want in each destination and wait for the next bus to come by! WWW.BAMBAEXPERIENCE.COM

TRIP STYLE:

ADVENTURE TRIPS Alternatively from our Hop-on Hop-off Passes, travellers looking for a more structured itinerary, with accommodation included, and a fixed trip length, can choose from our many Adventure Trips all around the world. Adventure Trips are organised trips with set itineraries which can be combined with any other Bamba trip or booked independently. TRIP TYPES To help you choose the Adventure Trip that is right for you, look for the following logos representing our trip types throughout the brochure:

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no tour leader to follow around on these adventures, only local guides for each included activity. You will travel independently on a fixed itinerary with prebooked public transportation, activities and accommodation. Take advantage of some free time to go explore at your own pace. Choose to stay overnight in hostels, 3-star, or 4-star hotels.

If you are looking for private arrangements for you and your travel buddy(ies), our private adventures are perfect for you! We offer a wide range of itineraries that come with a private driver/guide most of the time. Our list of adventures in the brochure is just a reference. We can easily help you create and personalise your own private adventure!

These small group adventures include great local guides, all of your transportation, accommodation, and some meals. They give you the chance to move around more easily, step off the beaten path, and immerse yourself in the local culture. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll usually share your trip with no more than 12 like-minded travellers, though the average group size is often lower.

Bus tours offer a cheap way to visit touristic sites. You will usually be travelling with a large group by bus, on a fixed schedule. Most of these tours only include bus transportation and accommodation, entrance fees and activities must be paid locally. These are independent tours accompanied by a tour coordinator who will organise the tour but not guide you.
