TRAVEL AND ACCOMMODATION
We believe that the travel market is now so competitive and fast changing that
you can get the best value for money by purchasing your flights through specialists
such as Trailfinders or by surfing the Internet for budget operators to Europe
etc. We know that many of you include the riding element as part of a longer
trip, particularly where long haul destinations are involved and by not including
external transport arrangements this gives you the flexibility to plan the trip
as you would like. We will of course be happy to design a complete, extended
itinerary for you if you so choose. Where you have contracted us to arrange
your flights we will do so and do our utmost to source the best options in terms
of cost and times to fit in with your individual itinerary.
The sites and contacts on this site are by no means exhaustive. Many we use
ourselves here at Unicorn and many have been recommended by past clients, so
if you have found an Internet guide to trains in Mongolia or know an expert
Costa Rican flight consultant do let us know at Unicorn
Trails.

express train and ocean liner, where you eat in a restaurant, sleep in a bed,
and get to see where you're going... Either way, this website will tell you
how to travel comfortably by train and ship for many journeys where you might
