Citizens may require travel visas. We cannot accept responsibility
for any loss or expense suffered by passengers who are not in possession
of the correct travel documents. It is advised that you obtain a European
Health Insurance Card (EHIC) which succeeded
the Form E111, from January 2006. Application forms
can be obtained from your Post Office or made online using the link
provided above. All passengers must be insured on all foreign holidays.

We will try to allow suitable sightseeing
halts en-route, these may vary in length depending on weather and
traffic conditions. Optional excursions are at the discretion of the
driver/courier depending on passenger No's, weather or other conditions. |

Behaviour If
a client behaves in such a way as in our reasonable opinion or the
reasonable opinion of a person in authority to cause offence, danger,
damage distress or annoyance to other customers, employees, property
or to any third party. If you are prevented from traveling as a result
of such termination, our responsibility for your holiday thereupon
ceases. Full cancellation charges will apply and we will be under
no obligation whatsoever for any refund, compensation or loss you
may incur.

their own transportation home and our liability ends at that point.

Special Assistance
We accept bookings from persons with special
needs and are happy to advise on the suitability of the holiday of
your choice. We would point out that some hotels although they can
cater for wheelchairs with lifts and doorways etc, you could find
that in some cases there could be steps or stairs to contend with,
we would be more than happy to get the full facts from any hotel we
use. |
