Asked on September 17th, 2025The week that includes Christmas costs slightly less that the previous week. Is there something not included from the regular tour that week?
Intrepid PremiumOperator•Written September 2025No, everything is included on the week that includes Christmas — the itinerary and inclusions are the same as the regular tour. The slight difference in price is simply due to seasonal pricing and availability.

Traveler•Written September 2025I apologize for being so elusive. You've been excellent in following up with my enquiry. In consultation with my son, I've decided not to book this Intrepid tour. Instead I plan to book the GAdventures tour, which I currently have on hold. I will be proceeding to book that today.

Asked on September 11th, 2025Can I get single accommodation and do you cater for gluten free
Intrepid PremiumOperator•Written September 2025You can request own room from AUD $2,555. Due to the small properties we use there is only a limited number of single supplements available per trip departure. We can cater for gluten-free diets where possible. Just let us know in advance so we can pass it on to the local team. Your leader will also help you find suitable meal options during the trip.
