Are your departures guaranteed?

Not every date is a confirmed departure. We usually need 3 participants for a tour to be confirmed. At that time, we got two similar tours, but unfortunately, both are private, so we cannot add more people. Since it is high season, we can suggest a date to other participants, and I am confident we will have others joining soon.

I wanted to take my 80 year old mother on this trip, but Tour Radar lists your oldest age as 77. My mother is in good health and walks without assistance. Would she be accepted on this tour.

Yes, that is fine. We will also edit the age, which was taken randomly from the system; it is not a requirement.
