    • Crooked CompassOperator•Written June 2025

      We do not have any scheduled departures in November or December, but we can certainly design a private itinerary for you, starting on a date that suits your travel plans. It would be a bit more expensive than joining a group tour, but if that is something you would like to explore, I would be happy to put some options together for you.
