    Lesley

    Asked on January 15th, 2025

    Is there a possible option to stay in a close by hotel rather than the hostels or do the hostels have a single room option rather than bunk beds? I like the look of the trip but at 52 years of age I'd rather not sleep in a dorm if possible. Also do you have anyone booked on this tour atm? If so how many please.

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      Unfortunately, you would need to stay in the accommodation we have planned in the itinerary. You could stay elsewhere but we wouldn't be able to organise that for you or adjust our price for the accommodation you would miss. We don't have a single supplement on this tour to offer you but we might have other tours that would suit you better with regards to accommodation.
