Please book as early as possible to ensure the lowest rate. * Please note, by default all rooms are twin bed rooms. * Children On Tour: Our tours are not suitable for young children which is why we have a minimum age limit of 10 years old. However, at the discretion of the local operator we may consider younger children on certain tours if they meet certain criteria and a request is received in writing via email. Minors (between 10 and 18 years of age) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who accepts full responsibility for them. Unaccompanied minors will not be accepted on tour. We reserve the right to decline any booking at our discretion. * Partners: When you book for more than one person, we will by default group you together in a room (unless you specifically request us not to). If there are unequal numbers (3, 5, 7 etc.) and we are unable to secure a triple room then the remaining traveller will be roomed with another passenger of the same gender. * Single Travellers: If you are travelling alone there is no compulsory charge - you will share a twin room with another passenger of the same gender.

This can be added by contacting our customer service team. Please note that the room provided may be a single room with a single bed. * Triple Room requests: We love hosting families on tour and making amazing memories together. The request for triple rooms is therefore something that comes up frequently. However, it is not something that we offer.
