Useful Information
Accommodation & Facilities
| In Europe students are usually accommodated in 3 or 4-bedded rooms with en-suite facilities and staff in single or twin rooms with en-suite facilities. We cannot guarantee that all youth hostels will have en-suite facilities and students may be accommodated in 6 to 8 bedded rooms. Hotel accommodation is an option in some cities. |
Holiday Duration
| The duration of holidays is described in number of days and in all cases includes the day of departure from the UK and the day of arrival back in the UK. |
Heath
| There are no special health requirements or vaccinations required for any of the destinations in this brochure. You may wish to obtain a copy of The Department of Health "Traveller's Guide to Health" which is available at main post offices, by telephoning 0800 555 777 or online at www.dh.gov.uk

Safety
| The safety and security of your group is our first consideration. In the event of the Foreign Office advising against travel to a certain country, we would act on this advice. However, we do recommend that you check Foreign Office Travel Advice before you make a booking and this can be found www.fco.gov.uk/travel. Although we take every precaution in looking after both you and your group on tour, the responsibility for your group's personal safety and welfare and the care of their possessions is obviously the same as that which is exercised whilst at home. Extra care should be taken when walking around cities, especially at night and we recommend your group stay in well-lit, populated areas. It is also wise to avoid carrying valuables or wearing expensive jewellery.
|
Special Requests
| These should be advised on your Passenger Information Form, which will be issued with your Booking Form once you have decided to make a booking. Although we shall endeavour to meet special requests, this is dependent on our suppliers and we cannot guarantee that your requirements will be met. Unfortunately we cannot accept any booking that is conditional upon a special request being met. |
Meals
| When requesting vegetarian meals or special diets, it should be appreciated that standard and choice is likely to be limited.
|
Medical Conditions and Disabilities
| Please let us know if you or anyone in your party suffers from a serious medical condition or physical disability before a booking is made, as Holts Tours cannot provide individual assistance with boarding coaches or other forms of transport, baggage handling, walking or other personal requirements, etc and you should be confident that everyone in your group can do these tasks unaided. We are happy to give advice and assistance with the choice of your tour, which will be dependent upon the nature of the disability and whether an able-bodied companion accompanies the person with the disability. Some suppliers may request certification from a GP to confirm fitness for travel. We regret that we cannot be held liable for any costs incurred as a result of this.
|
Privacy and Data
| We want everyone to enjoy touring with us. However, anyone with a medical condition or disability or a dietary/religious requirement must be aware that information supplied to us will be passed to other companies and persons who supply the various parts of our travel arrangements. We will not, however, pass this information to any party that is not responsible for your groupâ?(TM)s travel arrangements.
|
Travel Insurance
| For your own peace of mind, we insist that all groups travelling on our School Battlefield and History Tours are covered by travel insurance and we will require basic details about the schoolâ?(TM)s insurance policy.
