  • A

    Arthur

    Asked on October 19th, 2024

    Are additional services to be paid for extra to the holiday cost? I thought the trains, bikes safari etc were all inclusive in the original price?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written October 2024

      Train ride, bike ride, safari, and visits to sites like the Dambulla Cave Temples, Sigiriya, and the Temple of the Tooth, are indeed part of the holiday package at no extra cost. These are covered in your original trip cost. However, some additional services will need to be paid for locally upon arrival in Sri Lanka, like the costs for certain entrance tickets, and other similar expenses. The approximate amount to be paid locally is around GBP 7.68 per person. This is not part of the pre-paid holiday cost and is to be settled directly during the tour.

  • S

    Sheila

    Asked on February 3rd, 2024

    Do you charge extra for solo travellers?

    Single supplement
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2024

      We do have the single supplement option available for this tour if you want to have your own room with an additional cost. If you are okay to share rooms, then there won't be any costs.

  • H

    Asked on December 1st, 2016

    Would it be possible to participate only in the half of the tour?

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written December 2016

      You can join or leave the tour at any time, however please keep in mind that as they are set tours, the price will not change if you're not there for the entire tour.
