- Special note for solo travelers: We love our solo travelers and look forward to you joining our tours! Because we are a small boutique company, our computer system automatically requires at least 2 people to book together before a solo traveler may book - as all of our tours require at least 2 people to run. Otherwise, our tours, with just one traveler, would run at a financial deficit. For 2 travelers, we break even. However, we never cancel our tours as long as at least two people are booked. Many tours require a higher minimum and will cancel. This minimum of 2 people for the first booking prevents us from making any cancellations and disappointing our potential guests. So if you are a solo traveler, and the computer is requiring 2 to book, please keep checking back for updated availability. You may also call and add yourself to a "wait list". Thank you for your understanding.
