The Trafalgar Travel Club

Avoid the Single Supplement

When traveling alone, we understand that some travelers do not want to incur the expense of an additional single room supplement. With this in mind, on the majority of their itineraries, Trafalgar offers you the opportunity to purchase these trips on a room-sharing basis. They will accommodate you with a fellow passenger of the same gender on a ‘two-bedded’ basis (non-smoking rooms only). Please note that, regrettably, they cannot guarantee that roommates will be of a similar age group. Even so, it is an enjoyable way to travel and get to make new friends, and a positive way to stretch your vacation budget. If Trafalgar is unable to match you with someone, they will provide a single room at no extra cost.


Please note: This service does not apply to Trafalgar City Breaks, Greek Island Hopper and Best of Greece vacations, Greek itineraries with Mediterranean cruises, train tours, Egypt, Israel and extra night (pre or post,) accommodations.

 

Save 5% on 2 Tours

    

 

SAVE 5% AND GET TWICE THE FUN!


   

...when you book a second Trafalgar vacation!

Book two Trafalgar vacations, each 7 days or longer for a reduction of 5% off the LAND-only portion of the vacation with the shortest duration. Take three trips and save on two! Just ask your Travel Agent for suggestions on your perfect vacation combination. There are too many to list here!

   
Please note: Vacations are combinable with second and subsequent additional trips. Vacations must be booked at the same time. The discount is per person only and does not apply to City Breaks, Greek vacations with Mediterranean cruises, Egypt, Israel and extra
night accommodations.

"

Just returned from our first Trafalgar Tour. What a wonderful experience! Our TD. Marisa Anderton was outstanding- knowledgable, entertaining and willing to go the extra distance to insure all her guests were happy and healthy. Our driver Fabio astounded us with his ability to get us places safely.

This tour had an excellent itinerary ( Rome, Pisa, Montecatini, Assisi, Florence, Cinque Terre etc.) that was made even better due to the "At Leisure" component of the trip. Accommodations were fine.

Loved SAn Giminangno. What an amazing palce- especially given that it was our only rainy day. Great gelato too!

Our optional excursion to the Italian Riviera- Cinque Terre was outstanding-- the scenery, the view from the water and the overall experience of the different communities was wonderful.

Meals were fine. TWo outstanding meals were in Montecatini. One was at a restaurant called Il Vicolo. Just a wonderful meal and so reasonable. The other was in Montecatini Alto at Ristorante W.O.W. It was a wow meal. A group of us ( 15) went up to Montecatini Alto by the funicular and had a wonderful meal - everything from sea bass to steak to duck. The staff was so accommodating and everything was delicious. It is hard to please 15 people but they  did it. Excellent view from the restaurant.

One thing that stayed with us was our return trip through Umbria on our way back to Rome from Assisi. Beautiful scenery. Also, Cinque Terre was so breathtaking from the  water.
Starting to think about our next trip already.
