A FEW HELPFUL ANSWERS
Your journey starts in Munich and ends in Nuremberg. Exact meeting and finishing points and times will be confirmed in your departure offer. Please check these before arranging flights, trains or additional nights.
Your departure offer will set out the accommodation arrangements, meals, transport and any other included services, together with additional costs. Overnight cities shown in the itinerary describe the proposed route; hotel choices and meal inclusions are still to be confirmed.
These are small-group journeys, so you may travel with other guests. If you would like to travel only with your own party, ask whether an exclusive departure is available. Availability and the offer will be confirmed before you decide.
No. An enquiry or booking request records your plans for review. It does not confirm availability, reserve a place or take a payment. A booking is confirmed only after you accept the offer and meet the booking conditions provided for your departure.
