Sometimes these might be beside a river, or overlooking a nice view.

Weather

Despite Canada's size, weather patterns are mostly the same across the country, with defined seasons similar to those in Europe. Coastal regions are usually more temperate than prairie provinces and mountain ranges attract higher rainfall and snow in some areas than others, it’s cold everywhere in winter and warm in most locations in summer. The summer months offer sunny days and pleasant temperatures. Springtime reveals forests and wildflowers and the re-emergence of Canadian wildlife from winter hibernation. September is the peak of the salmon run, attracting large numbers of bears. It also marks the start of autumn, with spectacular fall foliage lasting into October.

1. Contract When making your booking we will arrange for you to enter into a contract with the applicable Supplier/Principal (e.g. the tour operator) of the Arrangements, as specified on your confirmation invoice. As the promoter of the holidays we accept no responsibility for the acts or omissions of the Supplier/Principal or for the services provided by them. Your booking is subject to these Terms and Conditions and the specific terms and conditions of the relevant Supplier/Principal(s) you contract with and you are advised to read both carefully prior to booking. The Supplier/Principal’s booking conditions may limit and/or exclude the Supplier/Principal's liability to you. Please ask the Supplier/Principal for copies of these if you do not have them.

Your booking is confirmed and a contract between you and the Supplier/Principal will exist when they send you confirmation.

2. Booking Please check that all names, dates and timings are correct on receipt of all documents and advise the Supplier/Principal of any errors immediately. Any changes to these details will incur the charges stated below. Please ensure that the names given are the same as in the relevant passport. The booking information that you provide to us will be passed on only to the relevant Supplier/Principal of your Arrangements or other persons necessary for the provision of your Arrangements.

3. Payment In order to book your chosen Arrangements, you must pay a deposit as required by the Supplier/Principal of the Arrangements (or full payment if booking within 14 weeks of departure or as requested by the Supplier/Principal). You must also pay all applicable insurance premiums and booking fees.

If you have paid a deposit, you must pay the full balance by the balance due date notified to you. If full payment is not received by the balance due date, the Supplier/ Principal may cancel your booking and charge the cancellation fees set out in their booking conditions.

4. Prices We reserve the right to amend advertised prices at any time. We also reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. Special note: changes and errors sometimes occur. You must check the price of your chosen Arrangements at the time of booking.

5. Insurance Many Supplier/Principals require you to take out travel insurance as a condition of booking with them. In any event, we strongly advise that you take out a policy of insurance in order to cover you and your party against the cost of cancellation by you; the cost of assistance (including repatriation) in the event of accident or illness; loss of baggage and money; and other expenses. If we have issued your policy please check it carefully to ensure that all the details are correct and that all relevant information has been provided by you (e.g. pre-existing medical conditions). Failure to disclose relevant information will affect your insurance.

6. Special Requests If you have any special requests (for example dietary requirements, cots or room location), please let the Supplier/Principal know at the time of booking. We can't guarantee that they will be met and we will have no liability to you if they are not.

11. Complaints Because the contract for your Arrangements is between you and the Supplier/Principal, any queries or concerns about your Arrangements should be addressed to them. If you have a problem with your Arrangements whilst using them, this must be reported to the Supplier/Principal immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the Supplier/Principal to investigate and rectify your complaint.

The amount of compensation you may be entitled to may therefore be reduced or extinguished as a result.

If you wish to complain when you return home, write to the Supplier/Principal. You will see their name and contact details in any confirmation documents we send you.

We will of course assist you with this if you wish - please contact us.

You can also access the European Commission Online Dispute (ODR) Resolution platform at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. This ODR platform is a means of notifying us of your complaint; it will not determine how your complaint should be resolved.

If you wish to complain about any service we have provided to you then please contact us directly.

12. Law and Jurisdiction These Terms & Conditions are governed by English law and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction (unless you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in which case you can bring proceedings in your local court under Scottish or Northern Irish law, as applicable).

13. Final Travel Arrangements Please ensure that all your travel, passport, visa and insurance documents are in order and that you arrive in plenty of time for checking in at the airport. It may be necessary to reconfirm your flight with the airline prior to departure. If you fail to reconfirm you may be refused permission to board the aircraft and you are unlikely to receive any refund.

14. Accommodation Ratings and Standards All ratings are as provided by the relevant Supplier/Principal. These are intended to give a guide to the services and facilities you should expect from your accommodation.

Standards and ratings may vary between countries, as well as between suppliers. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any ratings given.

15. Documentation & Information All descriptions and content on our website or otherwise issued by us is done so on behalf of the Supplier/Principal in question and are intended to present a general idea of the services provided by the Supplier/Principal. Not all details of the relevant services can be included on our website. All services shown are subject to availability. If you require any further details, in respect of any Arrangements or any other services please contact us.

16. Financial Protection All the package holidays sold by the Supplier/Principal come with protection for your money. If you buy a single travel service then this might not apply. Package holidays are protected by the package organiser (which will be the Supplier/Principal) and they will provide you with their confirmation. When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from them you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong.

Music and magic The Netherlands is also the location for another two of our tours. Delight in the music of the world-renowned Andre Rieu as he performs in his home city of Maastricht. Our 3 night Discover Valkenburg & Andre Rieu tour includes the opportunity to explore Maastricht and nearby Valkenburg ahead of the open air summer concert in Vrijthof Square. At the other end of the seasons, why not explore the Christmas Markets of Cologne, Aachen and Valkenburg, where you’ll find a wide array of charming gifts for your family and friends, or maybe even yourself!
