Important things to note

Some sites may be closed during special event periods and religious holidays.

Pre and post accommodation is required on these tours.

Tours can be a combination of different regular tours and therefore coach changes may be required.

The same people may not be travelling throughout your tour.

All cruise itineraries and vessels are subject to change without notice.

Some islands can only be reached by tender boat.

Visit is subject to weather conditions.

Pre-booked shore excursion discount must be used at least a week prior to embarkation.

FAQ’s

For escorted coach tours, you cannot choose between different classes. You must stick to the same class hotels throughout your tours.

However, for self-guided packages you may be able to substitute different hotels in each destination. Just check with our team of experts and we can recommend the best hotel for your dream holiday!

In some tours we list multiple hotels in the same class and destination. We do so as to display the most common hotels we use on our tour. As always, these hotels are a guide only and subject to change. Where we need to use a different hotel than that which we list, we endeavour to use hotels with a similar class.
