LUGGAGE: The passenger may bring one medium suitcase (76x46x25cm) and weight not exceeding 50 lbs (23kg). and one carry-on bag per person. The Company will take reasonable care of Passengers' luggage, but limits its liability to a maximum claim or aggregate of claims of £500 for damage to, or theft or loss of Passengers' luggage. Suitable insurance is easily available and passengers are strongly advised to obtain this prior to travel.

MOTORCOACHES: The Company reserves the right to alter the type of motorcoach used on any tour and to substitute a smaller sized motorcoach should the number of passengers travelling on any tour departure so dictate. The Company shall use its reasonable endeavours to provide the advertised specification of vehicle for all journeys although this cannot always be guaranteed.

TIMEKEEPING: It is the responsibility of the Passenger to ensure that they are at the departure point in good time and that they adhere to the departure times given in the Company's publicity and by its representatives. Coaches will not be held for Passengers who are late. In such cases full cancellation charges will apply and the Company shall have no further liability to that Passenger.

ALTERATIONS BY THE COMPANY: Whilst the Company shall use its reasonable endeavours to provide the tour as planned, the Company reserves the right to alter itineraries in any way, and for whatever reason, or to vary hotel accommodation.

SUPPLIERS OF SERVICES: Tickets for steamships, aircraft, trains or other carriers which are obtained by the Company on behalf of the Passenger are subject to the conditions of carriage of the individual carrier.

The company will not accept or have any liability for the acts of omissions whether negligent or otherwise, of ferry companies, coach operators, hotels or any other person providing services in connection with the arrangements of the group/ individual(s) unless such a person is employed by the Company or subject to the Company's direct control. The Company is dedicated to providing Passengers with a reliable and fault free service. In the unlikely event that a Passenger wishes to raise any queries or complaints with the Company, such query or complaint should be raised in the first instance with the tour guide, who will endeavour to resolve the situation to the Passenger's satisfaction. If any complaint cannot be resolved by the tour guide, Passengers must address their complaints in writing to the Company within one month from the last day of the tour provided by the Company.
