Roommate matching is done as a courtesy, and while most matches result in wonderful friendships, success is not guaranteed. If, during the tour, you decide you would no longer like to share a room with your roommate, you will need to request (and pay for) a single room at all accommodations. This can be shared between the two people in the room if it is a mutual decision. If you are a very light sleeper or snore, you may want to consider getting your own single room.
The Women’s Travel Club recommends booking flexible/refundable air tickets when possible.
Round-trip international Economy Class flights from Vancouver (YVR) or Los Angeles (LAX) are included in the regular tour price. Further details regarding the included international flight schedule will be provided once confirmed.
