    Asked on October 11th, 2025

    When do the May 2027 tours come out

    Tour Details
    • CostsaverOperatorWritten October 2025

      For May 2027 departures, we recommend checking back with us around September next year, as that's when we update our brochures, tours, and schedules.

      Sabrina

      TravelerWritten October 2025

      That's terrible. Other hotel websites have the same hotel at around 200 Canadian per night. That's gouging

    • CostsaverOperatorWritten October 2025

      Hotel pricing can vary depending on factors like negotiated group rates, seasonal demand, and inclusions specific to our tours. You're welcome to book directly with the hotel if you prefer. If doing so, we recommend choosing a flexible cancellation policy, as hotel allocations for our tours are subject to change.

    Asked on October 8th, 2025

    Would it be possible to request a double room instead of twin rooms for two couples?

    Accommodation
    • CostsaverOperatorWritten October 2025

      Our twin rooms are typically configured with two single beds. A double bed can be requested; however, please note that this is subject to the hotel's availability and cannot be guaranteed.
