Begin with a common brief
- State your available nights, arrival and departure points, adults, children’s ages and room combinations.
- Choose the overnight route first. A city base with outings and a trip with several overnight bases have different requirements.
- Share a budget range and the priorities you would protect if changes are needed.
Compare like-for-like stays
- Ask for each named property or boat, its actual location, room category, occupancy and extra-bed rules.
- Clarify meal basis, heating or cooling, access needs and any facilities you require.
- Check whether the amount is per traveller, per room or for the whole party, and which taxes are included.
Separate transfers from optional outings
- Request the vehicle type, luggage capacity, transfer route and airport or station coverage.
- Ask which local excursion vehicles, tickets, boat outings or activities are separate.
- Compare the scope of two quotes rather than assuming a transport icon means every journey is included.
Read the final conditions
- Ask for quote validity, payment stages and how availability will be confirmed.
- Get amendment, cancellation, refund and supplier-specific terms in writing.
- A concept page or enquiry receipt is not a confirmed reservation.
These are questions to use when planning, not published supplier terms, rates or guaranteed facilities. Confirm the details for your dates with Aura.
