Once we have received your provisional booking form, we will, subject to availability, confirm your holiday by email along with an invoice to you / party leader.Once we receive the payment, you will receive the Booking Confirmation.

Everyone going on holiday must check all documents (including the Booking Confirmation and Invoice) carefully. Contact us immediately if any information thatappears on any document appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later.

The balance of the holiday price must be received by us not less than 30 days prior to departure. If we do not receive all payments due in full and on time, we will send you a written reminder by e-mail.

In this case, the cancellation charges – set out in Section 7 below – will be payable.

Bookings are accepted on the understanding that all persons travelling are normally in good health and are able to fulfil the physical demands of the chosen holiday. Please do not take risks while on an activity holiday. In the interests of safety, you must follow our guidance notes, as well as those provided by anybody on our behalf; comply with any local codes of conduct, follow the Highway & Country Codes, and act sensibly and prudently at all times. We expect all clients to have consideration for other people. If, in our reasonable opinion or in the reasonable opinion of any other person in authority, you or any member of your party behaves in such a way as to cause or be likely to cause danger, upset or distress to any third party or damage to property, we are entitled, without prior notice, to terminate the holiday of the person(s) concerned. In this situation, the person(s) concerned will be required to leave the accommodation or other service. We will have no further responsibility toward such person(s) including any return travel arrangements. No refunds will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination.

Many of the services which make up your holiday are provided by independent suppliers ( i.e. Hotels and Railway Department). All independent suppliers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions and we arenot liable for any problems arising from the actions or failures of any independent suppliers.

If you have any special requests, you must advise us at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier, we regret we cannot promise that any request will be met unless we have specifically confirmed this in writing. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed onto the supplier or the inclusion of the request on your provisional booking form or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. Unless and until specifically confirmed, all special requests are subject to availability.

Please note that the information and prices shown on this website and in our brochures may have changed by the time you book your holiday. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the website, brochure, and prices at the time of publishing, errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure that you check all details of your chosen holiday (including the price) with us at the time of booking.
