The cost of holidays featured on this website may be changed due to changes in exchange rates, transport or accommodation costs, government action, etc. Prices may be changed at any time up until a booking has been confirmed.
Once a confirmation invoice has been issued, we guarantee that the price shown will not be increased other than in the following circumstances:
If, as a result of changes in exchange rates used to calculate the cost of your holiday, the Company considers that such an event materially increases the costs of it performing its obligations under this Agreement and/or otherwise adversely affects the benefit it derives from this Agreement, the Company may give notice to the other of the same and issue a surcharge invoice. If any surcharge is greater than 10% of the cost of your Holiday you will be entitled to cancel your booking and receive a full refund (excluding bank charges, if any). Should you wish to cancel your holiday in these circumstances you must give the Company notice in writing within 14 days of the surcharge invoice date.

Any information or advice provided by the Company on matters such as visas, vaccinations, climate, clothing, equipment, etc is given in good faith but we cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions. The client is entirely responsible for obtaining any necessary medical vaccinations or other preliminary travel arrangements, including visas or permits, and any additional costs incurred. The Company cannot accept any responsibility for the consequences should visas or vaccinations not be obtained before the departure of the trip.
If you are forced to return home early, we cannot refund the cost of any travel arrangements you have not used. If you cut short your holiday and return home early in circumstances where you have no reasonable cause for complaint about the standard of accommodation and services provided, we will not offer you any refund for that part of your holiday not completed, or be liable for any associated costs you may incur. Depending on the circumstances, your travel insurance may offer cover for curtailment and we suggest that any claim is made directly with them
If you wish to change any part of your booking after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you must inform us in writing (which includes by email) as soon as possible. This should be done by the first-named person on the booking. Whilst we will do our best to assist, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet your requested change. Where we can meet a request, all changes will be subject to payment of any costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers in making this change. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible. Where we are unable to assist you and you do not wish to proceed with the original booking, we will treat this as a cancellation by you.

You and the transferee remain jointly and severally liable for payment of all sums. If you are unable to find a replacement, cancellation charges. No refunds will be given for passengers not traveling or for unused services.

If the replacement tour is of a lower value, we will refund the difference in price to you. If this is not acceptable to you, we will refund all payments made to us in respect of your tour. We will advise you of this no later than 28 days before departure.
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking Conditions we will not be liable or pay you compensation if our contractual obligations to you are affected by “Events Beyond Our Control”.

We will not confirm your booking or if you did not give us full details at the time of booking, we will cancel it and impose applicable cancellation charges when we become aware of these details.

If you are traveling alone then you will be roomed with another member of the group in a twin or triple room (same-sex). The actual stopovers may change from the advertised accommodation providers, if this happens then an equivalent standard of accommodation will be used nearby. The majority of the rooms you stay in will be en-suite however you may stay in a couple of rooms that are not en-suite.
If you choose the single room option, you will have your room for the duration of the holiday. This will be in either a single room or single occupancy of a double room in a mixture of en-suite and non-en-suite rooms.
Any complaints regarding the tour should be made to the tour leader and/ or local representative who will normally take the appropriate action.

We will try to agree on a settlement with you.

No refunds or compensation will be given in these circumstances and we reserve the right not to accept any future bookings from you or any member of your party.
We appreciate you may wish to partake in other activities before, after, or indeed during your holiday with us. If an excursion or experience forms part of your holiday for which we will be responsible we will advise you and it will be included as part of the all-inclusive price of your holiday, not a separately priced item.
Many of the services which make up your holiday are provided by independent suppliers. Those suppliers provide these services by their terms and conditions which will form part of your contract with us. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you, usually by applicable International Conventions. Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are available on request from us or the supplier concerned.
To process your booking and meet your requirements, we must sometimes pass your details on to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements. We would also like to hold your information (including any email address), where collected by us, for our marketing purposes (for example, to inform you of promotional/competition offers or to send you our brochure). If you do not wish to receive such approaches in the future, please inform us as soon as possible. For full details of our data protection and privacy policy, and an explanation of how your details will be used by us, please refer to our privacy policy.
