Hi Lynne
You will receive all the important information about two weeks before you fly but I have copied the details below from a recent letter to give you a guide.
It also says: 'Reservations for these excursions will be accepted by your local Tour Manager. Payment can be made in cash (either Croatian Kuna or Pound Sterling) or by credit card (only Visa and Mastercard).' So I don't think it is possible to pre-book these trips.
Kind regards
Olly, your editor
