    Louise

    Asked on July 2nd, 2022

    We're thinking about the 12 day tour from Paris to Madrid. However we would need to join up with you on day 6 or 7 because we can't start out in Paris with the rest of the group. Do you have availability and pricing for 2 adults to join this tour midway and complete days 7-12? So we would want to meet up with you in or near Arles to start, finishing in Madrid.

      The pricing for the Highlights of France and Barcelona with Madrid Extension is $4,650 per person double occupancy. Complimentary transfers are provided as per the tour dates, we would need your flight details to add these transfers onto the booking.
