    Veronica

    Asked on February 5th, 2023

    I'm looking at a tour called "Discover Kerala & Sri Lanka: Islands & Ruins" - I'm wondering if there is an option to upgrade the hotels to deluxe for an additional price.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten February 2023

      We do not offer room upgrades on our tours however travellers can opt to upgrade and pay locally when checking in at each hotel if available.

  • T

    Tiffany

    Asked on December 26th, 2022

    I am wondering about the age restriction for this tour. It says 18-39, however, I have two travelers who are in their 50s and 60s. Would they be able to come on this tour? Also, one person has mobility issues (hard time walking for a long period of time), would there be accommodations?

    Age Range
    Travel Support
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten December 2022

      The age range is set for this tour as this is aimed at young, budget-minded travellers, who share accommodations in hostels. The tour is very fast paced! For ages outside of this range, we have individual tours for both India & Sri Lanka but not combined similar to this one.
