    Asked on January 12th, 2023

    I am a single traveler. Do you charge a singles supplement, and if so, how much more would I have to pay?

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • Explore!OperatorWritten January 2023

      If you wished to have a single room on this trip rather than share a twin room then the single supplement is an additional US$1980.

      Nicole

      TravelerWritten January 2023

      I am interested in the 7 day Southwest National Parks Grand Canyon Tour, not the 17 day Western USA National Parks tour. What is the single supplement for that tour? Do you have any options for two singles, even if they don't know each other, to agree to share a room?

    • N

      Nicole

      TravelerWritten January 2023

      I am interested in the 7-day Southwest Highlights National Parks tour. Would you please let me know what the single supplement would be for this 7-day tour? The website indicates that the tour price is $3,295, so adding $1,980 would be an increase of $1,690 - almost doubling it - for a 7-day tour. Doesn't that sound too high to you?
