specific seat, or sit with a travel companion please advise us of such request at the

A limited number of single rooms is available (on request basis only) at the

smaller than twin or double rooms and sometimes may be poorly located, especially in the older hotels. As a general ratio we are able to confirm 10% of the total
number of group participants in single rooms. If ratio is higher special supplements
may be implemented for something referred to "single in double room" at an
additional rate to the single supplement rate listed. If passengers are traveling alone
and wish to have 206 Tours assign a roommate we will do our best. If we do not
