checking availability on 19th July and quote for a single person

19JUL2025 departure is still open for booking however it is "On Request" meaning we will not be able to confirm you right away. We will need to double check with our local team and suppliers to ensure that there is still availability. Same goes for the single supplement, since this trip is fast approaching and we are in peak season we cannot guarantee that a single supplement will be available. The cost to have the single supplement added is €730 and if we are not able to confirm the service you will be refunded.

I have clients wanting to do a EUROPE tour, which includes Athens/Santorini/Budapest(cruise from Budapest to Bratislava)/Danube cruise/Vienna/Munich/Zurich/Lucerne/Paris. Would this be considered a personalized tour package?

Our tailor-made tour packages require a minimum of four participants. As this request is for a single traveler, we are unable to accommodate it under our personalized tour offerings. However, there are numerous group tour options available that align with your desired itinerary.

Where do I stay during the tour?

The primary joining point for the tour is at Magdas Hotel, Ungargasse 38, Vienna.

Is there a penalty for last-minute cancellations?

Yes, for cancellations between 15 and 30 days before the departure, a higher cancellation fee may apply, which can be up to 60% of the total booking cost.

Do u have tour by tour bus with no walking tour for older people? Uk and Ireland

If you'd prefer a tour with minimal walking, I'd recommend selecting one with a low physical activity rating of 1-2. These tours may include some light walking, but not very much, and are designed to be more relaxed and accessible.

How can I cancel my tour?

To cancel your reservation, the following will apply: If the departure date is between 30 and 15 days from today, a cancellation fee of 60% of the total booking cost will be charged. You can choose to hold the remainder of the money on file as Credit for Future Tour or a refund back to your paying card.

What is your single supplement cost and is there option to share?

A single supplement is offered on this trip but excludes days 3 & 4 where you will be in shared accommodations. The additional cost is $1,245 CAD, if you'd like to have this added on please let us know at time of booking as it is based on availability. If you are okay sharing with another solo traveler of the same gender then there is no additional cost and all rooming with be done on a twin share basis.

A well organised tour. Our guide was fantastic and really made the trip for us. Communication was excellent. We were never in any doubt what to expect. Everyone on our tour loved him. The itinerary was good and we felt it was enough time in each place but that's because we're not really into cities. We felt we had time to see everything we wanted to do.Show more

Reply from: Intrepid Travel
Hi Karen, Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry to hear this trip didn’t meet your expectations in regards to the hotels and breakfasts on offer, although pleased to hear that you considered the location of the hotels throughout the trip to be good. We are also sorry to learn that you felt your tour leader did not provide you with enough information on the places you visited. All Intrepid group trips in Europe are accompanied by one of our local European group leaders. While not being guides in the traditional sense, our leaders are trained to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip. We also aim to support local guides in the individual cities or locations we travel to, we are sorry you were not aware of the option of a local guide service if you were interested in delving deeper into the local culture at any specific site you visited. We are however, pleased to hear that your tour leader was friendly and hope to welcome you on another one of our tours in the future. If you would like to discuss anything further then please do not hesitate to contact us on customercare@intrepidtravel.com. All the best, Intrepid Travel
