Second traveler half price

How the second-person half-price offer works:For two travellers, the first pays the regular tour fare and the second pays 50% of only the eligible portion. Non-discountable costs in the nine-day package, such as hotels and airport transfers, remain at full price. Therefore, do not simply divide the advertised full nine-day price by two. The quote for two depends on departure, room type and availability.

Booking period: October 16–November 29, 2026, Eastern Time; eligible departures: November 1, 2026–December 31, 2027. New bookings only, limited availability, not combinable with other promotions. Solo travellers may receive $110 off, but cannot also use the second-person half-price offer for that passenger. Service fees, applicable city taxes and admission charges remain payable.

Include the tour fare, €8/person/day service fee, the mandatory city-entry taxes above, airfare, meals, admission and personal spending when calculating your budget. All amounts and arrangements follow the departure and quote confirmed at booking.
