Unlike most tour companies, Diverse Directions does not limit your options to a single category of accommodation. You may choose any combination of hotel categories, leaving yourself free to splurge some
nights, while economizing on others. For this reason, Diverse Directions does not bundle the cost of accommodations into the tour's price. Instead, you pay each hotel as you
would had you booked your accommodations independently.
When budgeting for your vacation, please keep in mind that hotel accommodations are not included in the Diverse Directions Tour Package prices shown below.
For an estimate of the cost of overnight accommodations, please see
Cost of Overnight Accommodations below. All prices on this page are in US dollars.
