      For accommodation, triple rooms are not guaranteed. The standard arrangement for this trip is twin-share rooms, so your group would normally be allocated across two twin rooms. Regarding a New Year's Eve activity, yes, the local tour leader will arrange a group activity or celebration based on what is available locally on the day.
