The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves the group at the end of the tour, they do not travel with the group.

Tour Leader 
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip.

They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and if caught doing so, can be fined.

As an extension of the EES implementation introduced from 2025, ETIAS travel authorisation is a mandatory entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals travelling to any of these 30 European countries, including Australian and New Zealand citizens, that will be introduced in 2026.

The UK Government announced the next phase in the roll out of Electronic Travel Authorisations (ETAs). As of 8th January 2025, all Australia and New Zealand passport holders will require an ETA to enter the UK. An ETA gives visitors permission to travel to the UK. Visitors who do not currently need a visa may need to apply an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) to travel to the UK, please refer to the UK Government website for further information.

Important:
Visa rules may have changed since COVID-19. Check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination you're entering.

It is also important to note, some areas of employment such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations may have additional restrictions in applying for Visas. This may in turn affect the type of application required.
