We shall send you a confirmation invoice showing departure point, all special requests as well as the seat numbers and details of the type of rooms booked so that you can see at a glance exactly what we have reserved for you.
Prior to completing your booking form, you are invited to telephone our reservations: 01474 853111, where we will be pleased to discuss your requirements and make a provisional reservation on your behalf. This will be held for a period of 7 days to enable you to complete the booking form and forward it with deposit in the post.

Credit/Debit Cards: Payments by Credit/Debit card are welcomed however payment by a credit card will be surcharged by 2%. This does not apply to debit cards such as Maestro, Visa Debit, but please make it clear what type of card it is when completing the booking.

Coach: Coaches feature adjustable seating, tea/coffee facilities, full air conditioning, toilet and wash room. Seats are allocated on a first come, first served basis at the time of booking. Please let us know if you have preference so we can allocate you a seat in your preferred position. We allocate seats as per the diagram. Some coaches may have a different numbering system but we keep to our plan as near as possible. We do not operate a seat rotation system.

Travel: It is very rare that you will spend more than 2½ hours on the coach before a stop is made. If it is a full travelling day, there is always a coffee stop in the morning, a lunch break plus an afternoon tea break. In addition bottled water is available on the coach at very reasonable price.

Singles: Naturally those travelling alone do not like paying a supplement, we only pass on the additional charge hotels make. It does not signify that you will have a better room. In many cases it will be a double room for sole occupancy and will feature the same comforts as the others.

Hotels: The type of hotels we use are generally 3 or 4 Star. However some of the smaller ones do not have an official grading and where this is the case the bedrooms size will vary a little; all rooms will be comfortable, well furnished and feature en-suite facilities i.e. WC, wash hand basin plus either a shower or bath, and perhaps both. Not all hotels have a lift, but where this is the case the rooms allocated will be on a low floor. If this is of particular importance to you please call for more information.

Luggage: Hotel porterage is included on some tours and usually available on others for a small charge. If you are unable to carry your case without assistance please let us know at time of booking.

Tipping: As a guide, a recommendation of around £1 per person per day for driver and guide, when felt appropriate.

Health: To take full advantage of the holiday you should be reasonably fit but it is up to you to decide how much walking you do. Some customers like to see everything possible, others prefer to take a drink in a pavement cafe and savour the local atmosphere. If you are travelling into Europe, make sure you've got a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) as well as travel insurance.

Excursions: Nearly all the excursions are a comfortable driving distance from the hotel. Most will leave around 9.15am and a full day excursion will return late afternoon to allow time to freshen up before dinner, usually taken around 7-7.30 pm.

Financial Security: We are a fully bonded tour operator, member of the ABTA Limited, so you can be sure that all payments made to us in advance of your holiday are fully protected.

Insurance: For all non UK mainland holidays it is vital that you are covered by adequate personal insurance and it is a condition of booking that you either take our insurance or that of a reputable alternative company. Insurance for UK holidays is recommended but discretionary. Remember that travel insurance should be paid for at the time of booking, otherwise the cancellation clause of the policy may not apply.

Passports: For all Continental tours you must have a full passport (and visas if not a British Citizen).
