I am interested in the Sultans Route: Turkey and Egypt - 15 days from Istanbul to Cairo. I am looking at a date in early April 2025. However, my question is that I am a single person looking to join the above group tour: is it possible for me to share with another person for a double room or would I have to pay for a single room. If so, please let me know what the costs for each option would be.

Sharing a room with another passenger is not an option. If she is traveling alone, she will need to book the tour with a single room.

As a single person travelling alone, do I not have the option to share with another person travelling alone? I do not have the option to book online

I keep getting this message: 'This accommodation needs 2 travellers. Please add 2 travellers or choose another accommodation type'.

I am looking at a combined Egypt & Turkey tour in September 2023. The Sultans Route tour (15 days) has a triple room at $7419 which costs an extra $2500 per person when compared to twin ($4935) or single room ($4903). It would be cheaper for us to book all single rooms than stay in one room. For other tours, the triple room is cheaper than the twin room and single room. Is there a reason why on this tour the triple room costs so much more?

We appreciate your interest on our tour. We also apology for our inconveniences. We've updated the prices, so now you're able to check the new ones. Don't hesitate to write any doubts of the trip to us.
