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.
When requesting a quote, include the fare, £8/person/day service fee, flights, meals, admission and personal expenses. All amounts and arrangements depend on the departure and quotation confirmed at booking.
