Couldn't find an answer to this question anywhere on the RS website. If my travel partner (on a booked RS tour) becomes injured or ill and cannot participate on the tour, can that person be replaced with another, different person? Please advise, thank you. Karen

I can't imagine why not. You should just email the tour department

Great question! You could get 50 guesses here or the correct answer from the Rick Steves office. They are responsive and helpful.

Definitely ask the RS folk. And if the change in travel partner would result in a different sleeping arrangement (e.g., two twin beds versus a queen) make sure to inform them of that so your room choice is updated too.

Yes, depending on the circumstances, but you will need to talk to them. I was in an accident and couldn't go so my friend was able to find another mutual friend to take my place. They had the exact same room set up, etc. so it was easy to make the swap. We asked once we had a possible replacement in mind and RS was gracious.
