Your trip departure type
When reserving your trip, you'll need to choose between an open departure and a fixed departure.
An open departure gives you the flexibility to choose your own travel dates, which is great if your schedule is uncertain. With an open departure, you are essentially reserving a private tour just for your group. This often means you can customize the itinerary to your preferences.
A fixed departure has pre-set travel dates and a predetermined itinerary. You'll be joining a group of other travellers, which can be a great way to meet new people and share the experience. Fixed departure trips often have a lower cost since resources are shared among the group.
To summarize, choose an open departure if you want to customize your trip and have flexibility with your travel dates. Choose a fixed departure if you're on a budget and enjoy travelling with a group.
