Optional excursions can be booked with your coach driver or Tour Manager and operate strictly subject to availability and demand. Some optional excursions are pre-bookable due to demand when making your reservation. The running order of included and optional excursions may be altered without prior notice.

No, we do not. However, we only ever charge a supplement if a hotelier imposes this charge to us as a company.
