Special Notes
Pricing InfoYour reservation is always subject to confirmation by email, normally within one to two business days. * Price is per person based on double occupancy.* Ages: 10 - 75+ * Prices will increase the nearer you come to the departure date and during peak season. 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. There is an optional single supplement/private room upgrade available for single travellers who wish to have a private room (subject to availability). 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. This is because many hotel partners do not offer triple rooms, and while they may be available in one location, triple rooms are not guaranteed to be available in all destinations. Where there is an uneven number of travellers in your group, we request that you please indicate as early as possible which travellers of the same gender will be sharing a room. Please take note that minors under the age of 18 cannot share with another traveller outside of your group's booking. * Price Match Guarantee: If you find one of our tours at a lower price with an online travel agent, we'll match it.
