Inside the figure, outside it, and what moves it
What sits inside a figure before you reserve a vacation package from $980 per person
Segment figures run from $980 to $1,980 per person, and whole lines from $2,310 to $5,580, always with two of you sharing a double room. Every figure on this site is quoted the same way and confirmed in writing before anything is held.
Reserve this with the officeNothing is charged here. The form stays open at any hour and a person writes back inside one working day.
Held by every figure on this site
Rooms for the nights stated, at a middle standard meaning a private room with a private bathroom, and breakfast where the house serves it. The ground arrangements named on the segment page: the guided days, the entry charges, the local transfers that belong to those days. The operating company's own charges for running it. Written confirmation naming that company, the dates and what it has undertaken to do.
Left out of every figure here
Getting to the country and home again, which is your own booking. Meals not named on the page. Anything personal, anything you add once you are there, and anything a third party charges you directly. Tips are never included and never expected on your behalf. Where a segment needs a permit that must be bought locally, the page says so and gives the amount rather than folding it in quietly.
Eight things that move a figure
How far ahead you ask, because operating companies quote against the rates they hold on the day. How many of you are travelling and how the rooms divide. Whether one person is taking a double room alone, which brings in the single supplement. The standard of the rooms, where a step up or down is available. The season inside the season, since shoulder weeks and peak weeks are not priced alike. Whether you want a private guide or will join others. Whether a move is made by scheduled service or by private car. And the exchange rate on the day the operating company issues its invoice.
A line costs its segments added up
There is no reduction for taking a whole line and no surcharge for taking one piece. The figure for a line is arithmetic, not an offer, and this office takes nothing off for the chain and adds nothing for a single segment. If you want the reason: the operating companies quote by segment, and this office is paid the same by them whichever way you buy, so there is nothing to pass on in either direction and pretending otherwise would be a claim we could not support.
Reserve one segment, or a whole line
This form is open at any hour, and whatever reaches it is read by a person who answers inside one working day. Nothing you send commits you, and no figure is charged at this end at any point.
