BOOKING INFORMATION

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.
