All of our tour prices are based on double accommodation. The price per person may rise substantially if single rooms are required. This additional cost is noted clearly after the price of each tour. If you want to avoid the single supplement, we can attempt to find someone to share a room with you, though this is not always possible.

In some circumstances, we may ask for a wire transfer, since the other methods may take weeks to arrive from some countries.
