BOOKING INFORMATION
YOUR MOBILITY & TOUR SUITABILITY
Due to the nature of our holidays, it is important that you have a reasonable level of
fitness; some walking is involved.
If you are infirm or disabled in any way it is essential that you contact us before
booking to enable us to advise suitability of your chosen tour. This request is made
in good faith and your own interest, as we would not wish you to book on a tour
where limited mobility would affect your enjoyment of the holiday.
THE TOUR FARE
What is included in the Tour Fare?
All rail travel throughout the holiday as described (unless booking at the Tour Base
fare). Air travel if applicable. Connecting road travel from station to hotel (where
necessary).
Accommodation and meals as detailed in the tour itinerary (B=Breakfast, L=Light
Lunch, LR=Light Refreshments, D=Dinner, E=Eurostar light meal) All excursions and

In the case of UK tour and journeys linking your home station to the tour base, tour
