Hotel Selections
We take care in the hotel selections that we make on behalf of our travelers.  We only utilize those hotels which are smaller in size so that we are afforded exceptional service. We strive to select accommodations that offer value and are unique to the region and/or historic in nature. Our commitment to your comfort and safety is paramount to us.

• A guide traveling with you for the duration of your trip
• Accommodations with private bath on share twin/double basis
• All continental breakfasts when specified and often times full breakfasts
• Meals where noted and may include, welcome receptions, lunches, teas
• Gratuities as applicable for meals specified
• Expert local guides, naturalists and specialists
• Historical walking tours as indicated
• Museum visits and entrance fees when specified
• Private transportation and transfers when specified
• All hotel taxes and government fees

Not Included
Airfare, wine and alcoholic beverages, meals that are not specified in the itineraries, personal phone calls, laundry, room service, personal shopping and independent activities and optional choices, travel insurance, which we consider necessary.   A gratuity for tour guides and driver is voluntary and offered individually at your discretion at the end of the trip.

Reserve a Trip
In order to reserve your space we require a $500 (USD) deposit payable by check, PayPal or wire transfer. Please note that full payment is due 60 days prior to your departure. A separate reservation form is required for each traveler.

We intentionally keep our travel groups small so early reservations are advised. Last minute travel may be accommodated when space is available.

Prior to departure we will email the following: joining instructions, lists of accommodations, the final trip itinerary, and any other cultural information and reading suggestions we think may be of interest. If we deem special gear is necessary we will send you what we recommend.
