Exact time of arrival home can vary owing to weather, traffic conditions etc. If you are arranging for someone to collect you on return, we suggest you ask the driver at the last comfort stop on the way back, and telephone ahead.

Please note that if you are not at the specified details notified to you, we have a duty to other passengers and the coach will be released, Unfortunately we cannot be responsible for your own arrangements back to the hotel/excursion.

Customer Reviews We are currently in the process of moving our traditional customer satisfaction cards to a more eco-friendly method online, in the meantime if you would like to send us a review of your holiday (including your hotel accommodation, excursions, driver, coach, pick up detail, journey detail or any other service related issues) please do not hesitate to send this to us at the address listed or one of our customer service email addresses.

What to do if you have a problem If you have any problem on tour your driver will do his/her best to help. Within the hotel the proprietor/manager/senior staff will do their best to handle requests or resolve problems. But please remember that if you do not tell the proprietor/manager about the problem there is little he/she can do.

Equally, if any problem is not resolved and the first time you contact us is after the holiday is over, then it is too late for us to take action. (This does not negate your right under our booking conditions.)
