If these activities are available in the operator's app or through your "My Trip" link, we strongly recommend booking them well in advance to ensure availability. Waiting until the last minute often means missing out on the opportunity to participate due to lack of tickets, coach seats, etc. Please be on time as we travel together in a group; everyone´s cooperation is essential for a successful trip.
