Whats the single supplement on this tour can you give me a little info on who's going on this tour, age range, singles, anything else would be useful

This tour is £1111.38 for one traveller in single B&B accommodation, and £1555.38 for one traveller in single hotel accommodation. Our tours attract people of all ages and demographics, so we cannot really predict that kind of information ahead of a tour. We typically get a mixture of younger, middle-aged, and older adults, with a variety of single travellers, couples, and groups of friends. We rarely have children on our multi-day tours, but children aged 5 years and up are permitted.

The trip with Bruce was great. The only thing that was not so great was that we could never all stay in the same hotel.
