    Is there a single supplement?

    Single supplement
    • Insight VacationsOperatorWritten May 2017

      For most trips the single supplement is optional. The tour price advertised is based on a twin share basis, so if you are a solo traveller you will be roomed with another solo traveller of the same gender if you book at this price.

      Should you prefer the privacy of your own room, we can offer you the option to upgrade at an additional cost.
