Call us to discuss your preferred accommodation centre, departure date, length of tour and the estimated size of your group. |
| • |
Subject to availability at your chosen accommodation centre, we will make a provisional reservation without obligation for your group, details of which will be sent to you together with our booking conditions. Options are usually held for 3-4 weeks, longer if possible. You may cancel your provisional booking at any time during this period without any charge. |

Send us your deposit of £50 per pupil together with your option confirmation form. On receipt of your deposit, all bookings will be made firm and you will receive a full confirmation pack. |

At your convenience, we will discuss your full visit programme in detail and make any necessary arrangements/advance bookings. |

We will require your final payment and details not later than 8 weeks prior to departure. |
