Complaints All complaints we receive are thoroughly investigated and customers are kept informed at each stage of the investigation. Sometimes investigations can take time as we await response from our service providers. In order to bring matters to the attention of the service providers at the earliest possible opportunity you should raise any matter that relates directly to the Hotel or Holiday Centre with a Senior Manager or Owner as it arises so that matters can be dealt with there and then. Any complaint associated with transport should be intimated to the driver as soon as possible to give him the opportunity to correct any deficiency. Should the matter remain unresolved after a reasonable time has been allowed for action, you should report the matter to us without delay and confirm the same in writing as soon as possible thereafter. We would consider 28 days to be a reasonable time to confirm the complaint to us and in the event of the complaint not being intimated in time, this may impede the future investigation and could affect your entitlement to compensation.

Personal Belongings Please, please, double check you have all your personal belongings gathered together before you vacate the hotel and before you leave the coach as returning items to customers is, at best, both difficult and expensive and, at worst, sadly some items are ‘lost forever’.
Smoking / Alcohol on board Smoking (including E-Cigarettes) and the consumption of alcohol is not permitted on coaches. There will be regular comfort stops when those wishing to smoke can do so.
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.
Hotels The hotel gradings used in this brochure are taken from the respective organisations’ handbook available at the time of going to print.

Dinner at hotels on the Continent may include a set menu or limited choice.
Entertainment Whilst we encourage hotels to provide some entertainment, the type and amount of entertainment is at the discretion of the management, will vary from hotel to hotel and may be dependent on numbers staying at the hotel.
Itinerary Programme & Excursions Your tour driver will notify you of the intended schedule during your holiday programme, this normally includes a notice at hotel reception. When out on excursions, please listen carefully to your driver for the intended departure times and locations. If you misplace the information whilst out, please contact us on the number included within your departure information and we can assist you. 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.)
