All our tours include a small extra fee for a travel insurance that will cover loss of theft of equipment and travel problems, this will be explain in detail during the booking process. When visiting town and during city tours do not leave your cameras and video equipment unattended. Do not leave them in reachable places or near windows in the bus.
