Royal Preparation
Preview Tour

- The tour includes meeting assignees at the airport, an overview of potential neighbourhoods (culture, every-day-life trips, shopping centers) and viewing various expat housing and schooling options.
- The preview tour can also be completed as part of an orientation tour once they have arrived in the host country. Orientation tours include an in-depth area tour and other services, such as supplying a list of doctors, dentists, local shopping centers, etc.
