We have booked 2 Rick Steves tours - Greece & Turkey. We will have a couple of extra days before/after the tour and we want to stay in the same hotel as the RS tour.
On our trip documents for Turkey, it says "Note: Reference SRM Travel when booking pre or post-tour nights", but we don't see that phrase on our Greece documents.
Does it mean:
- the hotel gives you a Rick Steves discounted rate?
- the hotel will put you in the same room as for the RS tour so that you don't have to change rooms?
Why isn't it mentioned on the Greece documents?
We don't want to arrive the day before and the next day have to check out at 11:00, store our bags, and then check in to another room down the hall at 15:00. That pretty much ruins the full day of sightseeing (meet & greet is at 18:00)
When booking an extra room before/after the trip, how do you choose the type of room & bed to match what you get with the RS booking? For example, if I book an "economy" room with twin beds and the tour provides a "standard" room with double bed, then almost certainly I'll have to change rooms. I'll book whatever RS books to ensure I won't have to move.
Thanks.
