Asked on November 21st, 2023I am interested in Contrasts of Mexico tour, but I have question about the price. On Explore Worldwide website the price is way smaller because the solo traveler supliment is fix, regardless of travel date, $590 per person. Why is your price $4050? Why is the solo supplement $1280?
Explore!Operator•Written November 2023I can confirm that the correct price for the departure on the 9th March 2024 is currently $2770 on a twin share basis, and an additional $590 if you wished to have a solo room. This would take the total single trip cost for this departure to $3360.

Traveler•Written November 2023Thank you for the message. I think I'm going to look for another tour, this one being too expensive, sold out in February. The solo supplement is difficult to pay on every trip I take.
