      May I ask how old the child will be at the time of travel?

    • S

      Shelley

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      My tour will be for 11days without my arrival and departure dates. My daughter is 8years old.

    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      I would suggest then a family tour as the child does need to be 15 years or older in order to join this particular tour.

    Darren

    Asked on October 10th, 2023

    I booked the tour. The price I was given was $3,725 each. I see on Tour Radar the advertised price is about $3500 each. Will I get that price?

    Price / Availability
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten October 2023

      There can be many reasons why we see the price change, or there are different promotions, and at this time we are unable to honour the price drop. These sales are often helpful to create that small group tour environment and balance out the cost of last minute air prices.

    Adrian

    Asked on February 23rd, 2023

    I wanted to know if there were any discount codes available.

    Price / Availability
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten February 2023

      We are able to offer you a discount of €643.30 off the tour cost if you are happy to proceed with booking and putting down the deposit in the next 7 days.

    Is there an age limit for this tour?

    Age Range
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten August 2016

      A lot of the operators have quite strict age limits as some tours are geared towards certain travel styles and activity levels. However in this particular case, On the Go welcomes all passengers 18 and above.
