If you prefer, then you can join the tour at the hotel. To do this, we will require a copy of your passport for identification purposes and you must advise us at the time of booking.
No reduction will be given if you should choose to do this.
We are unable to guarantee that the hotel will be able to meet your dietary requirements. We find that the majority of European countries do not generally cater for vegetarians and that the meal supplied may well be what everyone else is having minus the meat.
We will of course endeavour to arrange for a vegetarian meal at the hotel. We do however suggest that you advise us of your dietary requests at the time of booking and recommend that you speak to the receptionist on arrival with regard to your request.
You will stay for four nights at the 4-star Palace Hotel Città, situated a 2-minute walk from Arco’s Old Town area and a 5-minute walk from the Sarca River. Due to demand, we may use other hotels of a similar standard, such as the 4-star Hotel Oasi in Riva del Garda.
Overnight stays in Belgium will be in city-style hotels.
