SINGLE/SOLO TRAVELERS
A limited number of guaranteed private rooms are available on most tours at an additional cost. This "Single Supplement" cost is indicated on each tour page. Single travelers willing to share a room pay the regular rate.

THE FIRST DAY
Arrival times and check-in information are specific to each tour. Please look for details in your Confirmation Packet.

FINAL DAY DETAILS
Our inns provide ample parking for most of our tours. The end time varies by tour. Please check your confirmation materials and make your departure plans accordingly.

PET ALLERGIES
Some of our inns have family pets. Let us know if you have any relevant allergies.

CHILDREN
Children are very welcome on most of our tours if they are at least 10 years old, are physically capable of participating in the tour, and are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian including in your room at night.

BRINGING YOUR OWN BIKE
Your bicycle should be in good shape and have gearing to manage hills (for most of our tours). Please have your bike thoroughly checked by a professional bike mechanic before you arrive.

FREE USE OF BIKES
We are happy to provide you with a hybrid or gravel bike to use at no charge (except on some of our Adventure Tours, where you may be requested to bring your own bike). Our bikes come equipped with a front handlebar bag or rear carrier, water bottle and flat pedals. Pedal cages and soft gel seat covers are available on request. We are also happy to put your own clipless pedals (pedals that attach to your biking shoes) and seat on your bike if you wish. Flat pedals are provided for e-bikes, for safety reasons. Specific details and the styles of bikes available in each location can be confirmed with our office. A limited number of e-bikes (usually 8) are also available at no charge at most locations. (E-bikes are not available for one section of the Vietnam tour.). The make and model of bikes provided varies by location. SEE BIKE CHOICES.

HELMETS
Helmets are required and are made available to you at no charge. We encourage you to bring your own.

REFERENCES
We would be pleased to give you reference referrals to connect with past guests, upon request.

SMALL TOURS/TOUR CANCELLATIONS
It sometimes happens that there are too few participants for us to feasibly run a tour. In that event, your deposit or payments may be refundable or transferable to a future tour. Be sure to check with our office as to the status of your tour before making any non-refundable travel payments. Please also know that as a courtesy to our guests, we will run a tour with as few as six participants, and if you are unwilling to be part of a small group, you need to advise us at least 90 days prior to the start of your tour (120 days prior to the start of international tours; 150 days prior to the Vietnam Adventure tour).
