My first trip through Join my Trip I made with Maria to Bristol and Stonehenge. Maria is an organizational talent, always keeps the overview, was really helpful during the trip and not distracted at all, I can only recommend Maria's trips.
Thank you again, Maria!

HOW IT WORKS
-

Click "Reserve" when ready and follow the prompts to complete the reservation process. Looking forward to enjoying an unforgettable travel experience with new friends from around the world! -
Chat & PrepareAfter reserving we'll chat and you can ask any questions you may have. It's also good to coordinate packing lists, transportation arrangements, and other logistical details ahead of time. Also, you'll get to know the other TripMates before the trip. This way we all know each other before we actually meet in person. -

FAQs
The trip price includes the transportation, accommodation and activities at the destination - not the round-trip flights to the starting and ending points of the trip.
Absolutely, just press the "Ask A Question" button on one of my trip pages. I'll answer as fast as possible. You can also always ask the JoinMyTrip team as they are all very well informed.
I strongly advise against it. Usually, you will have the best travel experience if you are with us from the beginning to the end. Since we are traveling as a group, it would also disrupt the group dynamics a bit if you were to join only for a portion of the trip.
The payment for the trip price is very easy and takes place through the JoinMyTrip platform. This way, we are both absolutely certain that the money goes where it should. You can pay, for example, via Visa or MasterCard or with a regular transfer via Giropay. At the beginning, you only pay a deposit, and the remaining amount before departure, the timing of which is determined by the TripLeader.
When you have found your dream trip, you can simply click on the "Reserve" button and write a short message to me with some information about yourself and any questions you may have. I'll confirm you as soon as possible. Once your request has been confirmed, you pay a small deposit to reserve your spot on the trip.
