Is this a definite departure date? I am celiac/gluten-free, will that be a problem to accommodate my allergy on this trip? Is this an appropriate trip for a solo female traveler?

February 16, 2025, is not yet definite departure which means the trip has not yet met minimum numbers. We can add a note to your booking so that our team is aware of your condition. This trip is a great option for solo female travelers. Our tours are designed to be safe, welcoming, and inclusive for all guests, including solo travelers.

Is the international flights included in this trip

International flights are not included, the price is based on the land portion of the tour only.

Is this tour safe for a solo female traveler, as I've never been to Malaysia before? Is this tour a definite departure? I am gluten-free/celiac. Would I be able to accommodate my allergy?

Yes, our tours are designed with safety as a top priority, making them an excellent choice for solo travelers, including solo female travelers. Our experienced guides are knowledgeable about local customs and safety practices. This departure date is still available. For allergies, we will send a specific requirement form upon booking creation to ensure gluten-free/celiac-friendly meals.

Can you tell me if your prices include return flights from the uk

Our prices do not include return flights from the UK. Our prices include the tour only. If you were to book, for example, the Highlights of Singapore and Malaysia tour at the starting price of GBP 3 533 per person, you will not have flights included but you will have: a guided tour with an expert travel director by luxury coach, 11 Breakfasts, 1 Be My Guest experience, 2 Dinners, 1 Regional Dinner and 1 Farewell Dinner.

Is there anyway we can visit Singapore either before or after the tour in order to visit with friends who live there over a 3 day weekend? Since air travel is included can we change that to upgrade to premium economy and make up any differences in that or scheduling?

Your Colonial Singapore and Malaysia trip would be starting in Singapore and ending in Penang, Malaysia, so for ease of travel, we would recommend booking your flights so that you arrive a few days earlier if you wish to visit family or friends in Singapore pre-trip. If you would like a quote for the Colonial Singapore and Malaysia trip, we just ask that you provide us which tour date you were interested in.

The whole trip was excellent. Also as we finished the tour a day earlier and did not have the farewell meal or stay the final night are we not due a refund?

  Would you be able to book the same hotel if I arrive 3 to 4 days prior to the trip or should I book it myself? Do optional experiences on day 3 and 10 need to be pre-booked ahead of time and how much is the additional fee? Are transfers included to and from the hotel?
- TrafalgarOperator•Written June 2024
  You can add pre-accommodation of up to 3 nights. Optional experiences will be available and coordinated by your Travel Director. Complimentary transfers will be provided from Singapore Changi Airport on the first day of the tour and from the end hotel in George Town to Penang International Airport on the last day of the tour.
