Professional tour leaders Andy N Robinson and Kirsty McGregor have spent over ten years leading group tours. In It's NOT a Holiday!, they bring this combined experience together into a must read book for all adventure travellers. Fun and informative, It's NOT a Holiday!, will help you understand what group tours involve the types of tour available, what happens on tour as well as offering advice to help you make the most of your time way. The book highlights the A-Z of group travel through real stories and humorous anecdotes from their experience as professional tour leaders. It introduces 20 stereotypical characters you will inevitably find on your own tour and how they cope with the delays, breakdowns, border closures and other hiccups that commonly occur on overland trips. Are you Natural Leader or Sensible Older Person? Can you put up with Whinger and Man-Hater? Do you fancy Single Hot Chick or Nymphomaniac? How will you get on with Oracle, Jester, Baby and Vegetarian? It's NOT a Holiday! should be the first item you pack as you prepare for that organised tour of a lifetime! "Overland and adventure travel has been a way of life for Andy and Kirsty for over 10 years.If there are lessons to be learned about joining a group tour they've learnt them, usually the hard way. In one handy A to Z guide they manage to cover almost every problem and pitfall (and a lot of the delights) that joining an adventurous group can throw at you."
