We do have a minimum of 2 guests to run a tour, but here’s how it works:
From Easter to October (our high season), we receive bookings every day, so solo reservations almost always join an existing group without any issue.During the low season, it can occasionally happen that only one person is booked for a specific date. In that case, we’ll reach out about a week in advance to let you know and offer options:
Rescheduling to another day with a confirmed group, if your plans allow
Or a full refund if rescheduling isn’t possible
Either way, we’ll keep you informed and make the process smooth and stress-free.
