1. Are the meals on your tours strictly Kosher?

   Your tour package includes breakfast at your hotel, while you are responsible for arranging your lunch and dinner.
   We generally eat at the regular hotel buffet which is not Kosher but does include vegetarian and Kosher options. If you need strictly Kosher meals, please talk to us and we will arrange them.  We usually break for lunch and dinner and stay in areas with multiple options that are strictly Kosher. We can also pre-arrange to provide you with pre-arranged Kosher lunches and dinners, although extra costs will apply.
   

2. I keep Shabbat – are your tours Shabbat-friendly?
   Our tours are Shabbat-friendly in that no included activity requires you to do anything prohibited on Shabbat – our tours on Saturday are all walking tours.  We do include walking tours on Saturday mornings. If you wish to attend a synagogue service, you may miss a tour, however, all participants are welcome to either attend or skip this tour.  

3. Will I have time to explore independently? 
   Absolutely – in each of the cities that you visit! 

4. If I join a group tour, how big wil the group be? 
   One of the best reasons to travel with Our Tribe is the size of our groups. We limit our group size to 16 passengers, but our groups are often smaller. We need a minimum 6 passengers for this tour to depart as a group tour. 
   

5. What are your payment and cancellation policies? 
   When you book your tour, you will be asked to pay a deposit of 10% of the total tour cost. This amount is not refundable, except at our absolute discretion. 
   
   The balance of your tour is payable at least 31 days prior to departure.  If you cancel less than 31 days but more than 14 days before the start of your tour, you will receive a refund of 50% of the tour  price. 
   If you cancel less 14 days or less before the start of your tour, you will not be entitled to a refund, however we may choose to provide one (either in the form of a whole or partial refund).  

6. Do I need travel insurance? 

   We do not sell travel insurance. However, we very strongly encourage you to purchase it upon booking your tour. Some countries may require proof of insurance as a condition of entry, and in our view, not having travel insurance exposes you to unnecessary risk.   

7. Do you arrange flights?
   We are a ground-only travel operator. You should arrange your own flights and ensure that you meet the entry requirements of each country included in your tour. 
   
   
8. There are several of us booking. Can we have a discount?
