2 PACKAGE DETAILS

There are two (2) choices of packages:

  • Classic Package
  • Deluxe Package
The Deluxe Package provides for accommodation based on triple occupancy, though you may choose to upgrade to double occupancy (Deluxe Package only). If you require double occupancy, then this should be specified on the Online Booking Form. If double occupancy is available, this shall be confirmed in the Confirmation of Booking.

The Classic Package provides for accommodation based on quadruple occupancy. If you require double or triple occupancy, then this should be specified on the Online Booking Form. If the required occupancy is available, this shall be confirmed in the Confirmation of Booking.

If you are a single traveller or the number of people travelling in your party is not divisible by three (in the case of the Classic Package) or two or three (in the case of the Deluxe Package, depending on whether you have opted for a double or triple room), we may still be able to accommodate you or all members of your party (as applicable) on the Tour subject to availability and payment of a supplement. The exact amount of the supplement payable will be advised to you before Confirmation of Booking. A child will count as an occupant only where it requires a bed.

The items included in and excluded from each package are as set out in the Package Details. Please note that the cost of sacrifice is not included in either the Classic or Deluxe Packages.

The photographs of landmarks featured on the Website are for illustrative purposes only and to give an idea of what you may experience during the Tour. The photographs of hotel rooms are also included only to indicate the type of accommodation you can expect to stay in, and your hotel room may differ from those depicted.

The star ratings and hotel facilities reported by us are as reported to us by the hotels, and we cannot guarantee that these will be as mentioned as they are subject to change by the hotels and since these standards differ from hotel to hotel and from country to country.

There is no minimum age for travel. However, children and infants must be accompanied by a responsible adult, who will usually be a parent or immediate relative.

We reserve the right to refuse anyone on the Tour unless we have provided them with written confirmation of their place on the Tour.

By embarking on this Tour with us, you will have implicitly accepted our Terms and Conditions.
