    Judy

    Asked on June 29th, 2024

    we are planning our trip to Ireland and evaluating two options, a full tour like your 8 day castles and manors 8 day tour or a private car tour, but we handle the accommodations, meals. A couple of questions for your tour. First, it is my wife and our 17 year old girl, so on accommodations, is there a discount for my wife and I, since we would be sharing a room? second question, typically how many folks in the bus/group? While never certain for any particular group, typically the ages?

    Tour Details
    • TrafalgarOperator•Written June 2024

      Regarding the tour price on July 20, 2024, for the "Castles and Manor" trip, the base price for a twin room is $3,950.00 per person. Since you plan to bring your 17-year-old daughter, we recommend a triple room with a price of $3,950.00 per adult and $3,590.00 for the young traveler. If you decide to book one twin room and one single room, the price would be $3,950.00 for the adult and $3,590.00 for the child, with a single supplement of $1,040.00 for a total of $4,990.00 for the single room.

    • J

      Judy

      Traveler•Written June 2024

      Thanks Rufus for your response and can you point us to reviews of the tour? Back to the Trafalgar response, on the triple, makes sense, but I need to understand if every logdging has at least a double bed/twin or three twins. A sleeper sofa is not acceptable as generally, they are not very comfortable.

    • TrafalgarOperator•Written June 2024

      For a Triple Room, they often have one double and one foldaway bed. If you would like to request for specific bed configuration, it can be requested but it won't be guaranteed as they are still subject to each hotel's availability. This tour has a group size average of 40 to 45 guests and maximum of 48 guests. About 31% is under 45 years old, 42% of 45-60 years old and 27% are over 60 years old.

    • J

      Judy

      Traveler•Written June 2024

      Very helpful, we will proceed with a single room plus a twin room. As I look at the quote in the messages below, the single quote is $4630, but your quoted total is higher. Please clarify so on the checkout page, it is clear.

    • TrafalgarOperator•Written June 2024

      Regarding to your question, our trip price is subject to change anytime. Upon checking, for a single room it will cost $4,990.00 with the single supplement included.
