Trafalgar tours are all about an amazing, shared group dynamic and that requires a minimum number of guests on your tour to deliver a great experience.  

If you see 'Definite departure' in the dates and pricing section of your tour, this means the trip has reached the minimum number of guests required and is guaranteed to go, unless extraordinary circumstances arise.  
 
If your desired departure date is not marked as ‘Definite departure’, this can change at any point as others choose to book into it as well. Should we not be able to meet the minimum number of guests required, we will be sure to alert you as soon as possible and provide the best alternative options such as a different date/itinerary or we will even offer you a full land (tour-only) refund for any payment made.  

Our dates and pricing pages on our website are regularly updated to reflect our tours 'Definite departure’ status.

A departure labelled ‘Call Us’ means this departure is almost fully booked. If you’d like to book a departure labelled ‘Call Us’ availability needs to be confirmed by speaking with one of our team. Please call us using the number outlined on our Contact Us page or contact your Travel Agent who will be able to liaise with us on your behalf.

If a departure is labelled/shows as ‘On Request’ it means space on this departure is limited.

Simply continue with your booking request but note that your place won’t be confirmed immediately. It is highly likely that your place on an ‘On Request’ departure will be confirmed within 24-72 hours.

For most departures, we can place a free courtesy hold your booking for up to 3 days with the exception of some special offers. If you are looking at an offer that is a Last Minute Deal, or within any booking conditions/full payment window, tour must be paid in full at time of booking.
