We are very sorry that you were not aware that this trip is operated on the ground by our partners, Intrepid. We do try to make this clear in our trip notes which are available on our website at the time of booking, however we have noted your concerns and we will be looking at ways of making this clearer on our website.
We are also very sorry to hear that you had difficulties communicating with our office and that you did not receive your final documentation until after you had left the trip. We usually aim to send these out at least one month before departure.
Our Imaginative Traveller customer service generally receives excellent feedback and we are very sorry that this was not the case for you and therefore our Product and Service Manager Helen will be in touch very soon.
