When you are planning holiday tours abroad, you need to do some extra checks. Make sure that they are a well known travel provider, check their safety record and make sure that they speak enough English to communicate in case of any problems. Do your research on the Internet, but also be sure to speak directly to the provider or travel agent - and even ask to speak to previous customers - so that you are happy that they know what they are talking about.
