Meals:Are packed meals included (photography tours often miss regular meal times due to shooting)?

Some photography tours have equipment requirements (such as bringing a tripod or telephoto lens), or offer drone follow-shoot services. If you need to bring large equipment, inform the agency in advance to confirm sufficient vehicle space.
