Avoid the Single Supplement
|
When traveling alone, we understand that some travelers do not want to incur the expense of an additional single room supplement. With this in mind, on the majority of their itineraries, Trafalgar offers you the opportunity to purchase these trips on a room-sharing basis. They will accommodate you with a fellow passenger of the same gender on a ‘two-bedded’ basis (non-smoking rooms only). Please note that, regrettably, they cannot guarantee that roommates will be of a similar age group. Even so, it is an enjoyable way to travel and get to make new friends, and a positive way to stretch your vacation budget. If Trafalgar is unable to match you with someone, they will provide a single room at no extra cost. |
|
Please note: This service does not apply to Trafalgar City Breaks, Greek Island Hopper and Best of Greece vacations, Greek itineraries with Mediterranean cruises, train tours, Egypt, Israel and extra night (pre or post,) accommodations. |
Save 5% on 2 Tours
 |
SAVE 5% AND GET TWICE THE FUN! |

Please note: Vacations are combinable with second and subsequent additional trips. Vacations must be booked at the same time. The discount is per person only and does not apply to City Breaks, Greek vacations with Mediterranean cruises, Egypt, Israel and extra night accommodations. |

Karsen rated this tour a 4 on 8/8/2011 5:52:34 AM and says:
" I loved Spain! The Trafalgar Hidden Treasure tour and Be My Guest dinner was great. Breakfast was sumptuous. Lunches were not great as sometimes we only had 30 minutes at a rest stop while on the road to get to the next destination. They call these convenience stops for bathrooms and snacks. I took zip lock bags and brought pastries or made little sandwiches from breakfast buffet. It's not that I am cheap, but I needed my time for the lines in the woman's restrooms. If you have the time, add a night at the beginning in Barcelona and at the end in Madrid so you have lots of free time to explore. We really wish we would have done that at least in Barcelona.
