PRICE NOTES
The standard price is based on two people sharing on a group tour. If you are a single traveller and no one else has booked on the same dates the tour will still operate but you will pay the single person price. If you are the third person on a tour you will pay a single supplement for hotel rooms, or if you specifically request a single room in hotels. Train travel is based on a standard four berth second class cabin. Upgrade to a two berth first class cabin is available on some routes and subject to availablity.
