• Major changes to the programme after confirmation, such as change of dates or location requiring us to rebuy services will incur an amendment fee of £500.00 GBP over and above the cost of any extra services/increased costs as a result of the change.

There are mandatory rest periods during the working day and weekly rest period; a 24-hour rest period is required after 6 consecutive days of driving. 48 hours rest period is required after the second 6-day period of driving. This will mean that on longer tours affected by this rule the group will not have the same driver and /or coach throughout.
• Should the group be travelling with more than one medium-sized suitcase per person it may be necessary to cost in a luggage van or trailer to carry the group’s luggage. Please advise us as soon as possible if this is the case and we will advise the supplemental costs.
