Why are your tours so much cheaper than anywhere else?
Click here for the answer!

Will I be asked for payments on the site?
NO!  You can browse the site and make a booking should you wish - we will NOT ask for any payments through the site.

Can we pay in instalments to make it easier?
Yes of course!  Once first deposits are sent to us, you can send payments whenever you like (as long as final balance is with us 8 weeks before you travel)

What happens to my details?
We ONLY use the details you submit on the site for your booking.  We will NEVER give your details to any other company. Here's our privacy policy.

Can I change my itinerary?
Our itineraries are designed to give the best possible value, maximum time away and in a way that's tried and tested.  We cannot therefore allow any changes. However, you can arrange all of your own visits if you prefer.

Can I have an executive coach?
Yes of course!  Simply tick the box underneath the prices!

What about safety?

What meals are included?
All our tours include breakfast and some include dinner too.  See the 'What's included' box.  You can also add in extra meals simply by ticking the box underneath the price panel.

What if my group is bigger / smaller than we originally booked?
If smaller, a small group charge will apply.  If bigger, please just let us know!

Do we get free places for staff?
Absolutely!  You and your colleagues travel free of charge in the ratio 1 adult:10 pupils.

Do you offer discounts?
No, we offer the lowest price right at the very start - no gimmicky discounts!

Are there any supplements?
No - we charge more for smaller groups (but no surprises - we're happy to tell you up-front what the charge will be) and occasionally for groups travelling a very long distance to their destination (from the far South-west or Scotland for example), but the price we send you on your quotation is the price you'll pay...guaranteed.

Do you provide workbooks?
Yes - free of charge!  Simply download the ones you'd like from our site links to the places you'll visit.  Don't pay for 'generic' workbooks!

Why don't you include insurance like some other companies?
Because some schools and LAs already have their own insurance - and we don't think it's fair that they should pay twice!  We also believe you should have a choice of insurer - we can provide insurance, or you can choose your own.
