Have questions about going on a trip? We’ve got you covered.
We get it. Travelers are curious types. Hey, us too! Luckily, we’ve got answers to all your questions about Trova travel. Get the deets on what’s included, payments, policies and more. Sorry, we still don’t know why airport bathroom stalls never seem big enough for suitcases.
Trips
Trips include accommodations, transportation between cities, listed meals and guided activities relevant to the theme of your trip. Each trip includes a certified guide who speaks the language throughout the entire duration of your trip. Welcome to a better way to follow your passion while seeing the world!
Flights are not included. Most trips start and end in a major city with an international airport for your convenience. It’s up to you whether or not you want to continue your adventure after the trip ends!

A typical trip includes a welcome and farewell dinner, daily breakfast and some lunches. Check out the itinerary for more details on what’s included.
Dietary and allergy information will be collected leading up to the trip to ensure you’re taken care of. If you need tips on where to eat, ask your local guide for recommendations!
Accommodations vary trip to trip! From glamping to boutique hotels, it really varies depending on the theme. We never stay at hostels or hotels below 3 stars. We strive to create an experience that’s not only authentic, but also easily accessible and comfortable.
Typically trips cap at 20 travelers but it varies trip to trip. Check out the trip page to learn how many spots are available on your trip.
We try to start and end all trips in a major city with an international airport for your convenience. It’s up to you whether or not you want to continue your adventure after the trip ends!
We will send a detailed itinerary with everything you need to know at least 2 weeks prior to your trip start date including hotel and airport transfer information. Before your trip, you’ll be invited to a group chat to meet the other Travelers and start exchanging information.

Unless you select a single supplement at booking for an additional cost, you’ll share a twin occupancy accommodation. We’ll match you with someone of the same gender unless you request a roommate. To request a roommate, make sure both you and your roommate add each other's names to the "Special Requests" section at booking or email at hi@trovatrip.com.
We’ll provide a finalized itinerary including hotel and transportation information at least 2 weeks prior to your trip including all necessary travel information.
As we will be using shared transfers and spaces throughout our tour we recommend all travelers pack as lightly as possible. All travelers are allowed to bring one large piece of luggage (not exceeding 50lbs (23kg) in weight, with the dimensions (30” x 18” x 10”), one small carry-on (12”x11”x6), and a personal item.

Downtime will vary trip to trip according to the itinerary theme. Read your itinerary for more details on what to expect.
Accommodations vary depending on the destination and itinerary. You can learn more about the accommodations available by visiting the trip page.
