All availability on our website is live and up to date – you’ll get instant confirmation after booking. Booking on our website also opens a direct line of communication so we can let you know about any important information or changes regarding your tour. Booking direct cuts out the middle man, which means we can spend more money on making your experience perfect while keeping our prices as low as possible for you. We guarantee to offer the lowest prices directly – if you find a tour operated by us anywhere else advertised for cheaper – we will refund the difference.
