why is this tour $350 cheaper per person on tourradar.com than it is on your own site?

We have dynamic pricing, and the price would be adjusted to the current rate. It can take time to update through on the TourRadar side.

I have celiac, and need gluten free meals. Can you accommodate.

We can accommodate guests who are vegetarian and can assist with diabetic, gluten-free and other medically-recommended diets. Please advise us at time of booking. Unfortunately, we're unable to supply meals in accordance with strict religious requirements. We can't provide salt-free, Kosher, Halal, requests for specific dietary supplements such as soya milk, and high protein or low-carb meals.

Would we be eligible for any discounts

We would offer 5% off the land only. We can verify your past booking if you provide us with a previous booking number.
