Tour Booking

 

All tours are priced in UK Pounds Sterling. The non-refundable deposit for all tours is £450 per person unless stated otherwise. The non-refundable deposit for the Orkney tour is £850 per person due to the non-refundable return flight from Glasgow to Kirkwall. The deposit for each tour is required in order to book a place on a tour. The balance is required 75 days (2½ months) before the start of the tour (we will remind you).

 

If you click the 'Book' button you will proceed to our online booking form where you will be asked for essential information and which tour you want to book. On the booking form you can state your preference for a shared room or a single room, dietary requirements and any special needs. If you request shared accommodation but are travelling alone we will do our best to room you with another single member of the tour group of the same sex. If we are unable to do this you will be responsible for paying the additional single occupancy supplement stated on the Tour page. You will then be directed to a secure page where you can make the deposit payment by debit or credit card processed through SSL Secure Payment. If you prefer to pay by bank transfer then please contact JWS for information.

 

Once you have booked you will receive immediate confirmation of payment and soon after we'll send you a welcome email including a copy of our Terms & Conditions, a Detailed Itinerary & Travel Tips documents that will be attached to the email.

DO NOT BOOK A FLIGHT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE CONFIRMATION THAT THE TOUR IS A GO.

Balance of payment is due 75 days (2½ months) prior to the start date of the tour. We will invoice you 14 days before the balance is due giving you the options of paying the final balance, including the single room supplement if appropriate, via bank wire transfer, Paypal, Square or bankers' draft in Great British Pounds. 

 

Extra Days...

If you wish to arrive before the first day of any tour or to stay on after the tour finishes please let us know and we will try to help you with your travel and accommodation arrangements.
