Booking Summary: After you book, your Trusted Partner Tour Operator will contact you via email to complete your booking details.

• Once there is an update on the status of your tour, you will be contacted via email by the Trusted Partner Tour Operator, and they will advise if the tour has been confirmed. Please do not book flights or make any non-flexible arrangements until you receive this update.
• Should you require assistance with your tour, please contact the Luxury Escapes Tours Concierge Team at tours@luxuryescapes.com, who will be happy to assist with any of your queries and who will support you right up until you return from your journey.

Accommodation for the duration of your tour is included in the Tour package.

You can find relevant accommodation details for each day of the itinerary on the Tour offer page, or in your ‘My Escapes.’

Please note:

• Accommodation is subject to availability and may be substituted for a hotel of a similar or higher standard without notice. Room configuration is subject to availability and may include either one king bed or two queen twin beds.

Pre- & Post-Tour Accommodation Pre- and post-tour accommodation can be booked to extend your stay before or after your tour by contacting our Tours Concierge Team at tours@luxuryescapes.com.

Luxury Escapes uses a range of accommodation partners. For pre- and post-tour accommodation options where we can offer the same hotel as the start and end of your tour, your pre- and post-tour accommodation will be booked independent of your tour. If the hotel for your tour changes, this will be independent of your pre- or post-tour accommodation booking. In this instance, change fees may apply on your pre- or post-tour accommodation, if you choose to change; change fees can be found in your ‘My Escapes.’

For pre- and post-tour accommodation bookings, you may be required to check out of your room and check in again on the first or last day of your tour. You will need to confirm these details directly with the hotel.
