I had no chance to get more detailed documentation or Vouchers, and hence had problems on the tour. So, if you plan to travel with Kutrubes, please make a better effort than I to get documentation early. I know from past experience that you are reluctant to publish negative comments about your advertisers, but I am sure other traveler s may encounter the same problem. Copies of my correspondence with Kutrubes are attached. You can draw your own conclusions as to whether they favor advertisers over their travel readers.
Some operators seem to try to confuse the issue.
I have prepared a short description that you may wish to publish to help clarify the issue. Escorted Tours Traditionally an Escorted tour has a representative hired by the tour agency, who accompanies the tour guests, and deals with the local contracted tour provider. There may also be a country guide, and sometimes local place guides to assist . A Non-Escorted tour means that the group will be met by the local contracted tour provider, who provides the guides. Travelers should be aware that OAT does not directly contract these people.
