      is this tour affected by the floods at all?

    • TruTravelsOperator•Written December 2025

      All the rooms are twin shared rooms. We'd be able to pair you up with your friend for the trip? Currently, tours are going ahead as orginally planned, so especially by Jan 19th, we expect things to still be fine.

      TruTravels is a youth-focused tour company, with trips designed for 18–30-year-old travelers. While we don't necessarily operate tours specifically for families, your eldest son would fit perfectly within the group age range, though your younger son at 17 would be just under the minimum.
