Gratuities for driver and local guides are not included.
Seven Directions prepares the first Itinerary Draft based upon the client’s request, with the price. A reviewed program with the client’s remarks is then submitted for approval. The contract has to be signed and a 30% deposit of the total tour price is due thereafter.
If you wish to travel on your own but you don’t want to drive, we can organize cars, vans or other size vehicles, with a driver. If you want to have the guide with you, in English, Italian, French, Spanish or other languages, a specific request is required.
When you are part of a tour the Guide is always present during the whole itinerary and a professional driver will be with the group all the time.
Flights from customers' country of origin to their destination in the Southwest or the Fly & Drive packages, have to be personally booked and tickets purchased individually by each traveler or through a tour operator or travel agent. Seven Directions can suggest travel agencies both in the country of origin or in the USA, upon request. To receive a detailed program please eMail us at: info@sevendirections.net
In New Mexico the best time to travel is from May to early November. Each month offers different landscapes and events that are all very beautiful. Southern Arizona has a prohibitive hot weather during the summer months but it’s perfect during the winter. All the canyons are beautiful in all seasons, also with the snow.
Prices are based on the program developed for each group, on the accommodation categories, tour duration, size of vehicles, and number of people that are involved in the tour.
If a tour does not have the minimum number of people initially established, after consultation with the client, Seven Directions will either modify the tour, increase the price or offer alternative dates.
Increases in prices may occur after they have been communicated to the clients to cover increased costs, tariffs and taxes, among other items.
