    Shirley

    Asked on September 17th, 2025

    The week that includes Christmas costs slightly less that the previous week. Is there something not included from the regular tour that week?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid PremiumOperatorWritten September 2025

      No, everything is included on the week that includes Christmas — the itinerary and inclusions are the same as the regular tour. The slight difference in price is simply due to seasonal pricing and availability.

      Shirley

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      I apologize for being so elusive. You've been excellent in following up with my enquiry. In consultation with my son, I've decided not to book this Intrepid tour. Instead I plan to book the GAdventures tour, which I currently have on hold. I will be proceeding to book that today.

    Asked on September 11th, 2025

    Can I get single accommodation and do you cater for gluten free

    Meals
    Single supplement
    • Intrepid PremiumOperatorWritten September 2025

      You can request own room from AUD $2,555. Due to the small properties we use there is only a limited number of single supplements available per trip departure. We can cater for gluten-free diets where possible. Just let us know in advance so we can pass it on to the local team. Your leader will also help you find suitable meal options during the trip.
