Three Bears Travel offers a range of tour styles — Group Tours, Day Tours and Custom Tours — and guiding arrangements vary depending on the destination and the nature of the experience.

Group Tours:

Some group tours include a dedicated guide, while others may be designed for self-guided exploration where this is part of the experience. Guiding arrangements will be clearly specified for each itinerary.

Day Tours:

Most day tours include a local guide; however, certain attractions may be suitable for self-guided visits. We will provide recommendations based on the destination.

Custom Tours:

If you have specific needs or prefer a more personalised experience, our Custom Tour service allows you to tailor your trip exactly as you wish — including the option to add guides, drivers or special activities. Simply share your requirements with us, and we will design a customised itinerary to suit you.

Attractions may occasionally close without prior notice, which can affect access during your trip. While these situations are beyond our control, Three Bears Travel will inform you whenever possible and arrange suitable alternative activities.
