Important Extras & Fine Print
To give you the most flexibility, there are two things we leave up to you:
Flights: Flights are not included, allowing you to fly from your preferred airport. If you’d like Uwalk to handle your flight bookings, we can do so for a small service charge.
Travel Insurance: Insurance is not included in any of the three options as many walkers have their own annual policies. If you don’t have cover yet, Uwalk can add it on for you.
