• Accommodations in all cases are “en suite” that is, each hotel room has its own private bathroom, (specifically, a toilet, sink, and shower and/or tub)
• Breakfasts and dinners are included in the registration costs at or near our hotels
• Some of our hotel rooms may be accessible only by stairs, often no elevator is available
• Most of our hotel rooms do not have air conditioning
• On the Registration Form, indicate the type of room you prefer (single, twin, or double)
• Room selection will be assigned based on the receipt date of your Registration Form

About the Sole Occupancy Supplement
The Sole Occupancy Supplement is the additional cost that hotels can charge their guests if only one person stays in a room.  If you are traveling solo and wish to avoid paying the supplement, you must indicate on the Registration Form that you are willing to share a room with one other person from our tour.  We will inform you late January, 2025 if there is another tour participant willing to share a room.  If there is not, your payment of the supplement is due with your final tour payment and must be postmarked by March 3, 2025.  Likewise, if you prefer not to share a room and are not seeking a roommate, your payment of the supplement is due with your final tour payment postmarked by March 3, 2025.
