Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will find the most common questions from people planning to travel with R2K Turismo®. Did not find what you were looking for? Talk to us.
What clothes should I bring on the trips?
We always recommend packing as light as possible. However, the specific needs of your tour vary a lot, depending on where and when you travel. Our 'Trip details' document includes a suggested packing list and can be downloaded from the summary page of each trip. The checklist is specific to each tour and based on the experience of our team on the ground.
What type of luggage is best to bring?
We recommend bringing a backpack or a travel bag, because suitcases can be heavy and hard to store on buses, under seats, and so on. Remember that you will usually have to carry your own luggage on and off buses and trains and up and down hotel stairs. Wheeled suitcases may not work well on dirt roads or cobblestones.
What type of ground transport is used on R2K Turismo® trips?
Specific transport information can be found on the trip summary page, but in most cases we use public transport. We have found that how you get there strongly shapes the tone of your trip, and public transport allows face-to-face contact with local people. Some of our adventures, including our 'Superior' and 'Comfort Class' trips and most adventures in Africa, use private transport.
Can I book extra hotel nights before or after my trip?
Yes, in most cases we can arrange extra accommodation at our starting or ending hotels, except on European tours. If we cannot provide the extra nights, we will give you the name of a hotel you can contact directly. Please note that extra accommodation must be booked more than 30 days before departure.
