ELIGIBILITY: This section is only for agents, schools or associations who wish to send closed groups. These Tours are not open to individual registration.
DESCRIPTION: Please see detailed programs for each destination.
Availability and prices may depend upon the season, size of group and age of participants. Every trip is customized both for students and teachers.We are flexible enough to handle almost every possible requirement; resulting in a realistic itinerary at a competitive price!
Usually we need a minimum of 15 students and recommend you to have a group of 35 participants or more in order to be able to lower the cost of transport.
QUOTATION: As some months are very busy, for example April and June, we ask the group to be confirmed 4 months prior to the arrival date, in order to obtain the different bookings. When confirming a group, we need to know what the requested itinerary is (considering that we may adjust the program depending on availability, on daily requirements), the approximate size of the group and age of the participants. The latter information is necessary to provide the group with the correct information.
