The size of our chapters varies depending on the destination and season. Our chapters typically consist of 5-15 participants.
For some instances where a group size gets below 5, we will invite you to a few extra experiences at no additional cost: from friends dinners, night meetups, to group sports. This type of cohort is indeed preferred more by our travellers- since you'll be making more local friends, rather than hanging out mostly with fellow foreigners participants.
You have the option to pay in full, pay a deposit and the rest later, or with a payment plan (depending on how far in advance you make the booking). More info on payment can be found here.
