      I just realized that date has only 5 spots left. Is it possible two more will open up?

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2025

      Roger

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      We have one 15 year old and four college students. If the price can be matched, I would be interested in booking the tour for 7 people, departing December 22.

    • R

      Roger

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      We are not interested in camping, so the suggested tour unfortunately does not work. Please advise if there is a possibility of 7 on the original inquiry.

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2025

      I can see we only have 5 space available for the Family Journey 22nd December Departure. The only time spaces would open up, is if people already booked cancel off the trip.
