What exactly is meant by shared room?

A shared room means that you'll stay in a twin-share room with another traveller. Since you are travelling with another person in your booking, the two of you can be paired together regardless of gender. A twin-share room is suitable for two travellers and has two separate beds. If you are travelling as a couple, you can also request a double room with one bed. Alternatively, if you prefer to have your own room, a private room upgrade is available for an additional cost.

My mum and I had an incredible time on the Essential Europe tour! Our tour leader Lara and coach driver Csaba made it an unforgettable trip♥️ everything was planned out so well and they brought such a positive energy the entire time! This was our first time touring Europe and we saw and experienced so many great things. The tour had a good mix of planned activities and free time for us to explore on our own. Thank you Lara, Csaba and Travel Chasers!Show more
