    Asked on July 28th, 2023

    i still dont understand if a solo traveler can twin share a room with another person with inight vacation or solotravel tour

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Insight VacationsOperatorWritten July 2023

      If you are a solo traveler and don't want a single supplement, a twin-share room is perfect for you. You will be paired with another passenger of the same gender. The cost of this room is $2650 per passenger.

      Amber

      TravelerWritten July 2023

      im confused. When i click to view tour sept 15, 2023 the price says $5493. Is this 2 people price? Instead of the price $2650 you are quoting me? since i am solo wanting to twin share, i would pay $2650? How much would i pay for the sicilyin depth trip?

    • Insight VacationsOperatorWritten July 2023

      Please be advised that the price for a twin share is $2650.00 per person. That is the price that you will be paying if you book this trip.
