    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten July 2024

      The age restriction of 70 is only a guideline. If you are fit to travel, this is not a problem. You are more than welcome to book this adventure.

    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten July 2024

      While we don't have strict age restrictions, we do provide guidelines to ensure everyone's comfort. Passengers that falls out of this age group (18-59) and traveling alone may find it beneficial to consider booking a private room. If you are traveling with a partner, please disregard this guideline and proceed with your booking.

    Asked on March 28th, 2024

    Does this price include a private room?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten March 2024

      The price provided is based on shared accommodation, typically with two passengers of the same gender in a room. If you prefer to have your own private room, there would be an additional cost.

      TravelerWritten March 2024

      What is the charge for a private room. This was not an option on the website. Yet the website did seem to add a charge at the end.

    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten March 2024

      Typically we offer shared rooms, but single rooms are available upon request. The additional charge for a single room depends on your desired date of departure.

    • Travel TalkOperatorWritten March 2024

      For the Ultimate Europe tour departing on September 14th and ending on October 9th, the single supplement charge is $2433 USD.
