Single Supplement Policy
Single Supplement, commonly referred to as S.S., is an extra charge applied by hotels to customers that want to have a single room.
Our tours are based on twin share accommodation. Thus a single traveller does not HAVE to purchase single supplement unless they specifically want a single room to themselves.
Single travellers that are happy to share with someone of their own sex do not need to select single supplement.
However with pre and post tour accommodation we are unable to allocate share accommodation and so single travellers must pay the single supplement with any per or post tour accommodation they purchase.

Book Securely Online Now
 Please use our online booking reservation service where available - if you need any further assistance or to book please feel free to call or email us with your booking. Until you have received a receipted invoice (by post fax or email) your reservation has been recorded but not been confirmed. This is similar to an airline wait-listing. This may only affect you if we have had major changes to the tour.
To give better service from IAH to you our valued client all the order processing is done manually and any price reflected on the computer is always checked before your card is debited (in the case of most discrepancies to tours or price you would always be advised).
