What's not included

Special Drinks: Great wine will be provided with all dinners. "Special" bottles of wine and champagne, including "special" after-dinner drinks may not be included in the price of your trip. Please consult with your guide to see if that bottle of Grand Cru, that bottle of Champagne or that glass of 50 year old Armagnac will be covered. If it isn't, then by all means we encourage you to order that "special" bottle or drink because "You're on vacation!" (and we may even help you take a sip!).

Guide Tips

Tips for your Blue Sky World guides are not included, but up to your discretion (providing they live up to the high expectations which we're sure they'll meet!).
