NOTE: Unless specified otherwise, the singles group tours listed below are priced with "guaranteed share" rates. That means: all group leaders listed here have pledged to find a roommate for anyone willing to share a room and to absorb single supplement charges in the event a roommate cannot be found. Travelers who prefer the privacy of a room of their own usually have the option of paying the single supplement themselves. Please advise CSTN if this pledge proves false.
