    Rita

    Asked on August 9th, 2024

    I will possibly be joining the tour as a solo traveler. I have noted that numerous companies charge an additional fee if you don't share a room. Please explain why. If you book a double room it should not matter if one person or two are in the room. Also, if a friend does join me we (two men) would want a room with two beds not even a large double that a married couple would share. Would my friend and I be guaranteed two beds?

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperator•Written August 2024

      The price of this tour is based on two travelers per room. As a solo traveler you can join a twin share (male) room for the standard tour price of CA$3705.00 or you can choose to pay a single supplement of CA$684.00 to have your own room. If you would like to travel with a friend you can share a twin room and there would be two separate beds in the room.
