Hi Bosuncat,
Sorry for the delay on coming back to you....
So, the 6th May date has been cancelled so the first departure (subject to sufficient bookings) will be 13th May.
I can explain the hotel listing - when the accommodation was updated at the time the last brochure was launched, there were still available dates in 2014. Our currently system doesn't let us know when to update pages when tours sell out. I had the website database updated yesterday and all changes are now live.
Hotel Excelsior is undergoing a refurbishment, but it will be ready for when our group arrives in May.
Kindest regards,
Julia
