Conditions of Booking
Until a signed, completed Booking Form accompanied by the required deposit is received at our office and accepted by us, no agreement shall be deemed in force between the client and the Company.
Bookings are accepted subject to the following conditions.
(a) A deposit of £40 per person must accompany each booking.
(b) The balance of the fare must be paid at least 7 weeks before departure date. If balance is not paid in time, the Company reserve the right to cancel the booking and offer seats for re-sale.
(c) Single rooms. On most tours these cost extra and can be difficult to obtain. Where possible it would be advisable for two friends travelling together to share a twin-bedded room.
(d) Luggage is to be restricted to one medium suitcase and although we take every precaution for the conveyance of passengers luggage, it is carried at owner’s risk.
(e) Cancellations: If you have to cancel your holiday, please
inform us in writing via the office where you made your
booking as soon as possible. Cancellation charges will be
levied as follows:
Days before departure date |
Charge |
If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of a Holiday Insurance Scheme you may be able to reclaim these charges. We would therefore strongly recommend you to take out insurance.
(f) Routes. The information as to routes, halts etc., contained in this brochure is as complete and accurate as possible at the time of going to press. We must, however, reserve the right to vary these routes if circumstances make it necessary. Your signature on the form implies acceptance of these conditions.
(g) We reserve the right to cancel any tour due to insufficient bookings, strikes or other conditions making it impossible to operate.
(h) All prices quoted are based upon costs at the time of going to press. Although the company will make every effort to maintain published prices the Company reserve the right to increase or decrease the price after booking has been made and up to the date of the departure. In the event of further charges being levied you will receive a Supplementary Invoice. The amount shown in the invoice will be payable immediately and in any event before departure.
(i) While every effort is made to operate the tours as advertised we reserve the right to change hotels, itineraries and prices should this be necessary or desirable.
(j) The Company accepts no responsibility for any injury to or death of persons or any damages or loss to property or for delays or the consequences thereof.
(k) The Company takes great care to see that the information contained in the brochure is accurate or based on genuine expectation, but we cannot accept responsibility for changes which take place in relation to the accommodation, services or amenities booked after the time of publication unless they are so substantial as to represent a standard inferior to that reasonably to be anticipated from the brochure.
(I) All travel arrangements (other than those effected by the Company’s own transport) and contracts for service and accommodation are made by the Company as your agents and you will be subjected to any conditions imposed by any company, person or firm providing those facilities.
(m) Picking-up points: You may only be picked up at authorised picking-up points. If you want to change your picking-up point you must advise the Company in writing at least fourteen days before the coach is due to pick you up.
(n) Late arrival: The Company will not delay the departure of the coach or any other means of transport if you arrive late at your starting point for the Holiday/Tour or at any picking-up point en route. The Company is not liable for any loss or expense suffered by passengers because they arrive late at any starting point. In this paragraph “picking-up point” covers both such halts and picking-up points as are described in the Brochure as part of your Holiday/Tour and other such halts and picking-up points as may be notified to you by the Company.
(o) Children’s discounts: Please enquire when booking for particular tour as hotel charges vary considerably.
