We update these regularly, and you can book any departure. While it is highly unlikely a departure doesn't meet the minimum number of guests, you will be offered the best alternative dates or a full refund of any payment made if this is the case.

If there are ever any changes to your departure, we will contact you.

You can add extra hotel nights directly through Trafalgar, so that everything is taken care of, leaving you to relax and enjoy your tour.
