If you are planning on traveling during any holiday period, it is advisable to plan well in advance. Generally 3-6 months ahead is advisable when booking a tour, so that we would be able to source availability on the air, and well as the land itinerary. Also you would be able to get the best deals within this period. Closer to departure in holiday period, airlines often "close out" availability on cheaper fares, and you may also find the accommodation of your choice is full. However, if you are looking for a late getaway, we would still be delighted to assist in your travel plans.
