How many people are already booked for the departure date of April 20th?
Is that a one time tax or $14.5 euro additional tax for every hotel, or each place we visit, etc. We certainly don't want to be paying extra for every site we visit. That should already be included in the price if the trip. Again, is it a one time only payment of 14.5 Euros?
14.5 Euros is in total for all your stay, at all the hotels. Entry fees are included, as well as all breakfasts during the tour, a lunch at Mrizi i zanave restaurant and the airport transfers.
I would like to know: If, after making payment, your company can assist with obtaining their visas. The visa issuance fees. Your service charges for helping to obtain the visas. The visa processing duration. The list of documents required from the guests to process their visas.
We offer only travel services, no visa services.
