      We have to be in Italy on May 8. I gather you have no availability in April?

    • Carpathian Travel CenterOperatorWritten February 2025

      In this moment we do not have people booked this tour on April. Should we put your reservation in option? We can keep it without any problems until 26th March 2025.

      I also noticed that the price went up by $300. Is there a reason why the price would change within 2 days?

    • Carpathian Travel CenterOperatorWritten March 2025

      We did not change the prices for 2025. Maybe you saw the prices for 2026.
