ROOMMATE PAIRING/ROOMS:
I can assist you in finding a roommate, but it's not guaranteed. You may need to pay for a single room when you sign up to ensure you get on the trip. Rooms will have 2 twin beds, unless you are a couple (or a single) requesting 1 bed. King and queen beds are rarely available in European countries so you may get a full sized bed.

A signed waiver is due from all travelers. All monies are non-refundable. No animals, medicinal marijuana or illegal drugs permitted. Local laws will determine if you can buy marijuana. Pricing is accurate at time of posting but exact airfare pricing changes daily. The total price could change, and you will be responsible for any increases.
