3. My number one rule for international travel is to get a good travel insurance policy.

I have gotten sick while in a different country and was always seen by a doctor arranged by my tour guide. I was with a small EF Go Ahead tour in spring of 2022 when a couple came down with COVID. They were isolated in the hotel we were using and their travel insurance picked up the expense.

I recommend both EF Go and Insight for higher end accommodations and smaller groups. For a more active tour, try gAdventures out of Canada. They have great costumer service.
