While you’ll have the chance to explore Japan’s culinary scene, we’ll always have your favorite Indian meals ready. Our commitment to exceptional service extends to ensuring your dining experience is as enjoyable as your travels.
Child Policy for Tours
At Fairwise Coaches, we strive to make our tours enjoyable and accessible for families traveling with children. Here are the detailed policies regarding children on our tours:
Single Person Supplement Policy
At Fairwise Coaches, we understand that many solo travelers prefer to have their own private space during their tours. To accommodate this preference, a Single Person Supplement applies to those who wish to have a hotel room to themselves. This supplement ensures that you can enjoy a comfortable and private experience without sharing with another guest.
The Single Person Supplement is an additional fee that solo travelers pay when occupying a room alone. Since hotel rooms are typically priced for double occupancy, this supplement covers the cost difference of using a room intended for two guests.
Hotels charge based on double occupancy, which means that the rate assumes two people are sharing a room. For solo travelers, the unused portion of the room’s cost is covered by this supplement. This allows us to provide you with the same level of comfort and amenities that two guests would receive.
For solo travelers joining our 16-day Europe Tour, the Single Person Supplement is £X (you can fill in the amount based on your hotel’s charge). This fee is added to the base tour cost of £3995, ensuring your private accommodation throughout the journey.
If you prefer a single room during the tour, please notify us at the time of booking. We will adjust your reservation to include the Single Person Supplement.
By opting for the single supplement, you’ll experience a more personalized and private journey while enjoying all the incredible sights and experiences our tours have to offer.
