We want each and every one of our travellers to have the experience of a lifetime—whether that’s as a couple, with a friend or travelling solo.  Our Land tour price is based on 2 people sharing a room. If you wish to be guaranteed a single room, there is a Single Supplement charge listed on each detailed itinerary. If you would like to share, we will do our best to find you a roommate. The EARLIER you pay your deposit, the more likely we are to be able to find you a roommate. Those people traveling alone but wishing to share will be informed 3 months prior to departure if a roommate is not currently available. At that point, you will be invoiced for the Single Supplement. If a roommate subsequently joins the tour, your Single Supplement will be refunded prior to departure.

No one expects to have a medical emergency away from home or to have to cancel or cut short a trip due to an accident. However, these unexpected events happen and they can be disruptive and expensive – so it’s critical to have travel insurance which protects you against being forced to cancel prior to or during travel due to unforeseen circumstances . We strongly recommend comprehensive insurance coverage that includes emergency medical, trip cancellation and interruption, accident, and baggage insurance.

Travel Insurance should be purchased at time of paying your Non- Refundable $400 Tour Deposit/person

In the event of a traveller being unable to continue once your tour has started, all hospital and medical expenses are the traveller’s responsibility,  you will NOT be entitled to any refund, either total or partial, of tour money paid to Royal Heights Tours.

We suggest Manulife World Travel Insurance. The following website can provide you with an insurance quote and allow you to purchase the policy that works best for you online directly through Manulife.
