In most cases, the Operator can cater to vegetarian and gluten-free diets and will make every effort to cater to all other diets and needs, but are unable to guarantee this will be possible in every location you visit. Unfortunately, the Operator will not cater for tastes or dislikes. You will need to re-confirm any dietary requirements with your Group Leader at the start of your trip.
