  Traveler•Written May 2026
  We would want to arrange our own hotels though so please let us know how much the cost would cut down by. I am fine to join a group tour too but again as long as hotels can be done by ourselves.
- UncleSam HolidaysOperator•Written May 2026
  We do not arrange only transport and guide services separately. We offer complete tour packages. Regarding hotels, we can provide accommodation in 3-star, 4-star, 5-star Deluxe, and 5-star Luxury hotels, depending on your preference and budget. If you prefer to book your own hotel and join the group tour, unfortunately, that would not be possible for us, as it becomes difficult to pick up every traveler from different hotels before starting the tour.

  Traveler•Written May 2026
  Could you kindly give me a list of your 4 and 5 star hotels in those cities of the tour so I can also take a look. I have had very bad experiences before with hotels and hygiene and poor facilities so I started taking responsibility for securing my own accommodation so the liability was on me. Hope you can understand. But if you give me your list hotels thats works with your itinerary, I can take a look.
- UncleSam HolidaysOperator•Written May 2026
