Tour Pace & Activities

• Pace of Travel: Our tours are designed to be efficient, ensuring you see many sights each day. You’ll move at a steady pace to make the most of your time.
• Time on the Coach: Travel time between destinations varies. We schedule comfort stops approximately every 2-3 hours and incorporate scenic drives and points of interest into the journey.

You should be able to walk unassisted for up to 30 minutes comfortably. More strenuous activities are noted in the itinerary. Consider if the trip suits your mobility level

Important Considerations

• Trip Price Adjustments: Prices are subject to change due to cost fluctuations or exchange rates, but no surcharges will be applied to the land-only price once the final balance is paid, except for certain government-imposed charges or fuel increases. No changes within 20 days of departure.
• Minimum Numbers: Some trips require a minimum number of participants. If not met, the trip may be cancelled or rescheduled with at least 30 days’ notice.
• Hotel Changes: Hotels are subject to change, but a comparable alternative will be provided.

What is a “Definite Departure”?

• A “Definite Departure” means your trip is guaranteed to run! This status is given to tour dates that have already met the minimum number of bookings required. While we can’t share exact numbers, the system regularly updates these dates as they become definite.

What if my chosen date isn’t definite yet?

• You’re welcome to book a departure date that isn’t yet marked as definite. In the unlikely event that your chosen date doesn’t reach the minimum number of guests, we’ll offer you the best alternative dates for your trip or a full refund of any payments you’ve made. We’ll always contact you if there are any changes to your departure, whether it’s definite or not.

Documentation & Entry Requirements

• Passport Validity: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your return date.
• Visas & Permits: You are responsible for obtaining all necessary visas and permits for the countries you’ll visit or transit through. Check embassy or consulate requirements well in advance, as these vary by nationality and can take time. Multiple-entry visas may be needed if you enter a country more than once.
• Identification: Always carry proper identification, as passports will be required at border crossings. Your Travel Director will assist, but be prepared to open luggage and answer simple questions from border officials.

Booking & Payments

• Deposits & Final Payments: You can book with a non-refundable deposit (amount varies by tour level, typically £100 or £200 for land tours). The full balance is generally due 60-90 days before departure, depending on your tour.

Changes & Cancellations

• Changes: Contact us to make changes. An amendment fee (£50 per passenger) plus any airline fees will apply.
• Cancellations: Notify us to cancel. Cancellation penalties apply, and in some cases, no refund may be possible. Certain fees are non-refundable.
