class="entry-content"> <p>What is our number one tip before you book a tour with a tour company? Contact the company!</p> <p>We receive probably 95% of our bookings via the Internet without ever having spoken to the traveler. In many cases, we have never even emailed with the individual.</p> <p>And to be honest, that works for us!</p> <p>But if we had to distill our 28 years of wisdom into one most important tip, it would be this: Contact us first before you book or even as you are just considering traveling. Here is why:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Signing up for a tour is a big decision, not only in terms of time and money. Just as important, you will be spending 5, 7, or more days with a group of people. Isn’t it worth talking to the company putting together that group to see what sort of culture it has?</li> <li>You might be undecided about which trip you wish to participate in and we can help. Tell us in an email or phone call about your interests, your activity level, and whether you are traveling with others and we can help steer you to the right tour.</li> <li>You might just change your mind about what trip you want to do! Let’s say you are ready to book our <a href="https://www.zephyradventures.com/tour/france-dordogne-e-biking-adventure/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dordogne E-Biking & Biking Adventure</a> but then call us, talk to one of the four of us in Zephyr’s office, and realize you might actually be a better fit for another bike tour. It could be a very worthwhile few minutes you spend on the phone or typing an email.</li> </ul> <p>So even if you do not have any questions, consider giving us a call. And if you are not yet decided on a tour or not yet decided on a tour company, definitely give us a call: 888-758-8687!</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span
