    Sherry

    Asked on July 25th, 2023

    Are we able to fly in a day early and add an extra night at the hotel at the beginning of our tour to ensure that we arrive on time?

    Accommodation
    • Insight VacationsOperator•Written July 2023

      Yes, you can fly in a day early and add an extra night at the beginning of the trip. I checked, and for 1 pre-hotel accommodation at the Sheraton Zagreb Hotel, your start hotel would be $103.00 per person per night. However, it is on request, meaning that once booked, it takes 3–4 business days to confirm if we have it available or not.

      Sherry

      Traveler•Written July 2023

      What is the best way to book? Should we just do it online and is there a way to request the extra night there or is there a number we can call to book?

    • Insight VacationsOperator•Written July 2023

      We have notified Tour Radar to assist you in booking your trip. Once the trip is booked, we can add your extra night. The trip price would be $1795.00 per person.
