What's this trip about?

    What a better way to experience the world of the Mediterranean than stepping foot into the centre of it all? Malta boasts unique villas that have been built close to some of the most spectacular landscapes, such as the Dingli Cliffs, which soar to heights exceeding 800 feet above the sea. Visit locations that are home to many of the worlds earliest legends. Pass through Blue Grotto where the Sirens songs were known to enchant sailors into straying from their course and to their doom, or explore the port of Djerba, Tunisia, where Ulysses and his men were detained on their return from Troy. See why Tunisias Carthage was one of Romes greatest rivals and realize the consequences of opposing such a powerful force. The Roman conquest can still be felt by looking at a colossal amphitheatres or temple left behind by the Empire. Travel along the remains of an aqueduct that had once brought water to Carthage from a source 80 km away. Tunisia also saw the earliest development of many religions. The holiest city, Kairouan, houses the first mosque in Africa, and Djerba is home to the oldest Jewish community in the world.

Cancellation policy

Cancellations, Refunds And Transfers

Should you need to cancel your trip, you must notify us in writing, by letter, e-mail, or by fax immediately. Deposits are non-refundable, though if you cancel more than 90 days prior to tour departure date, the deposit is transferable to any other tour taken within 12 months of the original tour start date, minus a per person transfer fee (some tours have a 100% nonrefundable/ nontransferable deposit; you will be informed of this at the time of booking). Less than 90 days prior to departure, all monies paid are 100% non-refundable, nontransferable. Name changes are not permitted. Insurable risks may be covered under trip cancellation insurance policies, if purchased. We will not grant partial refunds for any unused trip arrangements—voluntarily missed meals, sightseeing, transport, etc—after the trip has commenced, or any refunds to trip members who do not complete any portion of the itinerary for whatever reason. All air tickets are non-refundable and valid only for the flight(s) indicated. We may cancel departures if forced to do so by circumstances such as war, civil or political unrest or what is commonly referred to as force majeure. In these instances we will refund all passengers in full if cancellation takes place more than 60 days prior to tour start date. If cancellation occurs within the 60 day period, we will offer to postpone your trip to another departure of the same tour code within 12 months of the original tour start date; or, if circumstances do not permit, an alternative will be offered at that time. We will not be responsible for costs associated with re-issuance or extension of visas, airline change fees, or for any compensation. We strongly recommend that all travellers purchase trip cancellation insurance, either through Adventures Abroad or elsewhere, as this may provide coverage under such circumstances. If we cancel your tour due to insufficient enrolment, we will endeavour to find an alternative tour for you. If this is not acceptable, all monies paid will be refunded in full and will constitute full settlement. We will not be responsible for any expenses incurred, such as visas, vaccinations, independently purchase airfare, or any compensation. Notice of cancellation due to insufficient enrolment in any program will be given approximately 60 days prior to departure.

Travel Insurance

It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
