Solo travellers: when a shared room is not offered

A client travelling alone asks the question every agent has heard: do I have to pay for a whole room? On many of Europamundo’s regular group tours the answer is no. The traveller pays a smaller supplement, and Europamundo finds a roommate of the same gender, who may be a different age, to share a twin room. The terms give the fee in euros. We print no prices on this site, so the amount is on the quote.

Where it does not apply

What a twin can be

In some hotel chains a twin room may have one double bed and a sofa bed. A traveller who chooses a shared room has to accept that possibility, and to settle the sleeping arrangements with the roommate, without Europamundo or the hotel. Our post on the twin room that is secretly a double says how to put that to a client.

If no roommate is found

Europamundo’s Why Europamundo page says that if no other traveller is available, the traveller receives a single room at no additional cost. The terms do not repeat that, so ask us to confirm it for the tour and the dates before you tell a client.

Our guide, Solo travellers and shared rooms, has the rest. Ask us to check a tour.
