Booking

When to book?

This is one of the most Frequently Asked Questions. The short answer is as early as possible! Because our tours are limited to small group sizes, they can fill up quickly - sometimes even before our new brochure comes out. It's not unusual to find trips are fully booked around four to six months in advance. Single rooms can also be in relatively short supply and among the first to go, so do try to plan well ahead if you require one of these.

However, we inevitably receive a few late cancellations during the course of a season so it is always worth enquiring about vacancies on any tour - even for those departing in a few weeks time.

How to book

Booking is easy!

Step 1           
Read the detailed description of the tour you are interested in, together with the Essential Information (below) and Booking Conditions.

If you need further details, ask us to send you a Tour Information Pack for your chosen trip. To request a Tour Info Pack simply click on the Tour Info Pack button that appears alongside every tour. See also the About Our Holidays section of this website.

Step 2           
You can Book On-line via our secure site. Click here to access our On-line Booking Form, or click the Book This Tour button that appears alongside every tour.

If you prefer to Book Off-line, you can download the PDF Booking Form for completion off-line and mail it off to us to reserve your place.

If you have a copy of our latest brochure, you’ll also find a Booking Form enclosed therein. Bookings can also be made by telephone, fax or email. Simply complete and mail your Booking Form off to us, together with the appropriate booking deposit, to arrive at our office within 14 days, to confirm your place on the tour. (We can hold provisional reservations for up to 14 days, after which time any unconfirmed space will be released.)
