No inoculations are required, but please check with your physician for his recommendation.
Rates & Fares Information: Rates are based on a minimum of 25 persons traveling together. Fewer tour participants will result in a price increase. The quoted tour price is based on the current rate of exchange. Fluctuation in the foreign exchange rate can result in price increase.
Deviations: Any individual making a change in travel arrangements apart from this group program will be charged a service fee of $100 per person, plus any additional costs incurred.
