Are there additional expenses not listed on the website? I was charged 200 euro extra on arrival and over 300 euro extra for a single room.

Could you clarify if by "additional expenses" you meant things like international flights, meals, or tips? That would help us improve our info for future travelers.

I'm looking for a tour company that can take me to the Gerewol 2023 festival. I would like a 7 day tour. Do you have any openings?

4 nights in tents is really to much, especially when the people who danse thé gerowol festival are 3 days the same! This must be better organised in the future!

Apart from the minor hiccup regarding flight arrival and pick up, the entire nine days could not be faulted. The drivers, guides and cook went beyond in their duties to ensure client satisfaction.
