NOTES for Independent and guided weekly departures:
* All prices are in EUR € or US$ (as shown)- the currencies used by relevant countries for their costings. We deal with people all over the world. Quoting one currency is cheaper and more stable.
* All prices are per person.
* Twin = two persons travelling together in a four-berth cabin. Does not mean two-berth train cabins.
* Upgrade to two-berth. = We quote for upgrade to a two-berth train cabin. Where there are no two-berths available, you
buy out the remaining 2 berths.
* Single = When we quote a price for one person travelling this does not mean a single berth, or sole use of two-berth cabin on the train. There are no single berths.
* Prices are based on certain trains (ie numbers) and class type being available. On many routes there are different fare levels within the standard four-berth cabins available.
Yes, it can get complicated, but we are used to it!
All options allow full customisation. You can vary the itinerary within the limits of timetables.
