What is the difference between Tour Option: Plan B (Standard) and Tour Option: Plan A (+400$)?

Thank you for your email, The Plan A option means you will be upgraded to a 4 or 5 star hotel instead of the standard plan B 3 star hotel. If you have any further questions feel free to contact our support group available 24/7. best Regards.
