Bunnik Tours

Yes, of course. For tours that already include airfares we will just add a supplement amount to the quote for the upgrade which will be due in addition to and at the same time as the progress payment.

Certainly. Even if the tour you're interested in includes airfares, we will also have a 'Land Only' price which excludes the airfares. Please let your Global Journeys travel advisor know when enquiring and we will be able to advise the 'Land Only' price.

Two reasons – firstly, when we have a tour that includes airfares we use special wholesale fares which are generally as competitive if not cheaper than the advertised specials. Secondly, if we book the flights and the tour is cancelled for any reason, we will look after the flights. If we do not book the flights and the tour is cancelled by us, change and/or cancellation fees may be charged by the airlines.

Yes, of course. We can book any airline, any dates and any itinerary to fit with other travel arrangements. There may be a difference between the fare booked compared to what is included with the tour (if applicable), so a supplement may apply. Please keep in mind that some airlines have shorter holding times so the progress payment may be brought forward to coincide with the deadline provided by the airline.

All airlines have different policies on seating. If you're booking a tour that includes airfares, please ask your Global Journeys travel advisor if the flight booking is eligible to pre-select seating. Some airlines charge a fee for this, which can be done on the airline’s website once the flights have been ticketed.

For all tours, except our short tour range, airport transfers are included within the price of your tour. This also extends to if you complete pre or post nights, when booked through Bunnik Tours & Global Journeys. 

Yes, however this may incur an extra fee depending on the location of the railway station. Please ask your Global Journeys travel advisor for more details.

Everything from an air-conditioned coach to a rickshaw or a traditional boat! Each tour page will show a list of the transport types used. Please note, as part of our fitness to travel policy, you will need to be able to get on and off various modes of transport without assistance, and in Africa you'll be required to drive along very bumpy roads for extended periods of time.

On tours where airfares are included, generally there will be an allowance of 23 kg checked baggage and 7 kg carry-on, even though some airlines will allow more than this. This is due to the baggage allowances for the buses used on our tours. Some tours will have more restrictive baggage allowances, especially in Africa, so please check with your travel advisor. Please note, as part of our fitness to travel policy you are required to be able to carry your own luggage.

In some cases, it is possible, but standard package price will still apply. Please understand that you may be required to make your own way to the start or end point if transfers are not available.

Of course! We offer a range of pre and post tour add on options as well as extensions and stopovers. The options are endless, just ask your your Global Journeys travel advisor at the time of booking.

On our tours we use good quality 3-5 star hotels. Rather than concentrate solely on star ratings and creature comforts, we choose our hotels based on the following criteria: cleanliness, great service, atmosphere and location. If a more luxurious hotel with a higher star rating is preferred, we offer a range of ‘In-Style’ group tours in certain regions.

Some hotels we use on our tours may include tea and coffee facilities in the rooms. In Europe and where possible, we choose our hotel based on location meaning there are generally local cafes and restaurants close by to enjoy a coffee with the locals. To ensure you aren't disappointed though, we suggest packing a travel kettle and some tea/coffee with you.

Due to Bunnik's contracted year-round rates with our ground operators and for the comfort of all guests, we are not able to offer triple share rooms. The best option in this case is to book one twin/double room and a single room. We can then request with our ground operators for interconnecting rooms which will be subject to availability upon check in.

Many meals are included on our tours and these will be specified on the itinerary and are listed in our e-brochure and on our website. We include many meals, but not all of them, so that everyone has the option to sample some local cuisine and experience the local culture.

On some Bunnik Tours there may be a few early starts to make the most of the day’s sightseeing. Breakfast is included daily, and the guide will always make sure that the hotel provides a buffet breakfast or breakfast box to takeaway.

Bunnik's team of expert Product Specialists plan every itinerary to create the perfect balance between organised sightseeing and free time to explore the local destination.

This will depend on the destination and personal spending habits. However, AU $50 (or equivalent) per person per day is usually enough to cover additional meals and expenses in Asia, India & Sri Lanka, the Middle East, and South/Central America. For Europe, AU $75 (or equivalent) per person per day should be adequate.

While a lot of places tend to accept USD as a form of payment, this is not always the best option for many reasons. Generally, the best currency to take is the local currency of the destination/s visited. Most travellers tend to bring a smaller sum of cash with them for incidentals for the first few days and exchange money along the way.

At Bunnik Tours we don’t put specific age limits on our tours, but we also recognise some travellers may find our itineraries challenging. We have a duty of care to all tour participants and our tour guides, so we do impose a firm policy on the level of fitness required by all of our clients to attempt to ensure your safety and the safety of other travellers on our tours.

Yes, all travellers must have adequate travel insurance for all international destinations (domestic is at your discretion). Unfortunately, this is not a choice, it’s compulsory as we’d hate for something to happen and you weren't covered.

Bunnik Tours does not recommend the use of credit card travel insurance, but we do accept it. It's important to carefully check the Product Disclosure Statement from the credit card provider for restrictions such as pre-existing medical conditions, minimum spend required to activate the policy and any other items that are important. If credit card travel insurance is selected, please provide your travel advisor with the policy number, the underwriter and the emergency assistance contact details.

Yes, we can cater to most dietary requirements. Please let us know at the time of booking so that we can request this with our local operators. While we do our best to accommodate individual needs, not all requests can be guaranteed.
