All bookings are made on a first-come first-served basis. All Participants are required to sign the Booking Form and the Terms & Conditions or complete the on line booking form accepting these Terms. 

The contract and all matters arising from it are subject to English law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts. In the event that any of the provisions of this contract shall be determined by any Court to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent then such provision shall to that extent be severed from the remaining provisions of the contract, which shall continue to be valid and enforceable.

PAYMENTS

A deposit of the Tour Price is required on booking, the deposit amount will depend on the Tour.  Deposits are refundable up to six months before the tour start. After this date deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable, irrespective of circumstances.

Your final balance for Tours is due eight weeks prior to departure. Bookings made within eight weeks of the departure date will only be accepted with full payment. Failure to pay the balance on the due date may result in cancellation of your booking.

TOUR PRICE

Your Tour Price includes all services as listed on the “What’s Included” page. Anything not listed as included is excluded.

If you book with the intention of sharing a room with a partner, friend or as part of a larger group we will always try to accommodate your preference.  We have a selection of twin and double rooms available.  If the group size is an odd number, then one of the group will be treated as a single person booking.

If you book as a single person, but are happy to share, then we will always try and pair you up with a roommate.  If there are no spaces available in shared rooms, then the single person supplement will apply.

If you book as a single person and do not wish to share a room, then the single person supplement will apply.

Where breakfasts are included, they will be in keeping with the country of travel.

Pillions are assumed to be sharing with rider.  Please contact us for pricing if pillion requires single room.

SURCHARGES

Prices are correct at the time of printing/publication. However circumstances beyond our control, e.g. Government action, taxes, and currency fluctuations may cause an increase. If such cases arise we will absorb amounts equivalent to 2% of the tour cost although we reserve the right to pass on surcharges larger than this providing they occur more than eight weeks before departure.
