How do I book a tour with a friend who is booking separately?

Booking a tour with a friend while each of you makes separate reservations is straightforward via our website. Follow these steps to ensure you and your friend are paired together, whether your tour offers twin-share accommodation or not.

For twin-share tours

Twin-share accommodation means each booking is for one person in a shared room for two. Solo adult travelers not booking together are generally matched with a fellow guest of the same gender.

  1. Book your spot: Start by booking your spot in a twin room for one traveler. Complete the booking process to secure your trip.

  2. Connect your bookings: After booking, go to your Booking Conversation Page and send a message to the tour operator. Include your friend’s name, email, and TourRadar Confirmation ID (if available). Request to be roomed with your friend. Here you can find more: What is the Booking Conversation Page, and how do I find it?

Both you and your friend must do this on your respective Booking Conversation Pages. This step confirms consent from both travelers to be roomed together, allowing the tour operator to link your bookings.

For non-twin-share tours

If the tour does not offer twin-share options, here's what to do:

  1. Select your tour and accommodation: Find your tour and on the booking page, input one traveler. Under the accommodation section, select the option that requires two adults and check the box labeled "I'm traveling with a friend who is booking separately."

Finalizing your booking

Once both bookings are made, the tour operator will confirm that you and your friend are roomed together for the trip. This coordination ensures a smooth and enjoyable travel experience, adhering to your preferences and needs.
