You should note that some countries have an immigration requirement for a passport to remain valid for a minimum period after the date of entry to that country (typically six months). If your passport is in its final year you should check the requirements of your destination country well in advance of travel. All passengers are responsible for ensuring that they are in possession of valid travelling documents with the necessary entry visas for the countries they are visiting. All passengers from the UK must be in possession of a valid 10 year British Citizen Passport. If you do not have a passport allow at least 8 -12 weeks for your request to be processed. If you are travelling from overseas/on a work permit you must have a multiple entry to the UK and VISAS for the respective countries to be visited during the tour or else you will not be able to travel.

The hotels that we use cover a wide range of styles in different locations and they are all carefully selected for their atmosphere, location and hospitality. En Route Hotels: It may be occasionally necessary to use alternative hotels to those shown on the itineraries. Such alternative hotels will be of an equivalent standard to those indicated and final details will be provided with your tickets. Hotels may sometimes be located outside the city centres; in outlying areas but will have access to the city for sight seeing.

Hotel Bedrooms: All prices are based on 2 adults sharing a standard room with en-suite facilities.

Double Rooms: In some parts of Europe it is normal practice to link two single beds together to use as a double bed.

Triple Rooms: Triple occupancy are based on rooms with twin/double beds, where it may be possible to arrange a third bed (usually foldaway/pullout/sofa bed) but this facility is not guaranteed and can not be confirmed prior to travel.

Single Rooms: Single travellers may feel that the cost of your holiday is higher than it should be. The reason for charging the supplement is that the per person price for a lone traveller includes the entire double room cost. We do not make additional/excessive profits from these sales; the prices charged reflect the real cost to us. In some hotels there are rooms designed for single occupancy, these are often smaller/ sometimes less appointed. We do not know which room you will be given as the hotel usually decides this shortly before you arrive.

Single Share Option: Rather than levy single supplements we will accept individual bookings on a 'Share option' where we will try and introduce you to another single traveller, willing to share, and if there is nobody available to share with, a single room will be arranged (with single supplements payable by the customer).
