Accommodation
All rooms in our hotels have their own facilities. Our accommodation is conveniently and centrally located at all our destinations in order to save your time and enrich the tour. Prices given are for twin share – two people per room (we are normally able to find room partners for people wishing to twin share). Places are available for single accommodation – only one person in a room (a supplementary fee applies).

Insurance
Tour costs do not include insurance. We do, however, require all our tour members to have comprehensive travel insurance and our travel agent, Neptune Travel, is able to recommend travel cover.

Group size
It is important to us that our tour members’ individual needs are met where possible, and for the enjoyment of the group as a whole, we restrict our tours to a maximum of 22 people with 2 or 3 leaders.

Fitness
It is not necessary to walk very long distances on our tours, but because of the nature of our picturesque environments, we will sometimes encounter cobblestones, paved slopes and flights of stairs. Please seek medical advice if you are concerned about the level of fitness required.

Payments
ALL PAYMENTS are made direct to:
