ROOM UPGRADES To deluxe rooms or suites It is impractical to represent hotel upgrade options on the pages of our touring holidays. However, we may be able to arrange up upgrades to deluxe rooms and suites on request - ideal if you are celeb celebrating a landmark birthday or anniversary during your travels. MEAL PLANS IN THE USA AND CANADA Our tour pages clearly state the number of meals included in your itinerary. Generally speaking, we include a number of meals in destinations where the choice of dining venues may be limited or of variable quality, but fewer meals in those destinations where eating out is a particular pleasure and there are countless, good value opportunities to sample local specialities. As such, few meals are included in North America. However, if you would prefer the security of a pre-booked meal plan, you will find breakfast package prices on the USA and Canada tour pages, and we can, on request, also offer a half board upgrade cost. 11
