Do I pay in full upfront or deposit first for a group tour?

[Direct conclusion] Most pay a deposit to hold the seat and settle the balance before departure, usually no full upfront payment. Key points to keep in mind: 1. Deposit: Pay 20%-30% deposit to hold the seat. 2. Balance: Settle balance before departure, timing in contract. 3. Full: Paying in full at once is also fine and simple. 4. ◆ Ask: Payment timing?
