Booking – You must pay a deposit at the time of booking of £50 per person for UK coach and rail tours, £75 per person for overseas coach and rail tours and £150 per person for air tours. In the case of Low Cost Airlines we will also need a full names list (as per passport). We will then commit to the travel arrangements agreed and begin work on planning your itinerary.

Approximately three weeks before travel (and provided the balance has been paid in full) you will receive a Final Information Pack including tickets, your finalised itinerary and other essential information.
