For the time being, our tours will also be targeted at American residents, but since the absolute number of participants has dropped sharply due to the corona virus, most of the tours that usually have a high mixed ride rate are now mixed rides. is not.
As with this customer, it is difficult for customers who wish to participate in the tour alone to participate in the tour as desired.
If it is a mixed ride tour, you can either participate according to the tour that has already been decided with more than the minimum number of participants, or the fee will be higher, but you can charter like this customer and tour on the desired schedule It will be held.
