Happy New Year to you Cindy,
I'm going to call you Eagle-Eyed Cindy from now on!
You're right, we have changed the hotel this year. I'm sure you know that we regularly review the various elements that make up a tour, from excursions to hotels during this process we take into consideration the comments and results from the customer questionnaires. This change has simply come about as part of this review.
Kindest regards,
Julia
