Price differences for hotel accommodation or specialist services due to seasonal variances will be borne by you.
    • We reserve the right to decrease or increase the price of our tours at any time.

      You must obey the laws of the country in which you are located whilst travelling on one of our tours. We would ask you to show respect for the many diverse customs that exist in the country you are travelling in. If you do not do so, your tour may be cancelled without any refund. We will decide on cancelling your tour or not and our decision will be final.
    • While on tour, your appointed tour guide or our representative may need to make a decision in the interests of safety. It is a condition of bookings that you comply with the authority and decisions of our appointed representative. If there is no compliance, we reserve the right to refuse to allow you to continue the tour. In such a case we will not be liable for any refund, compensation or any additional costs incurred by you. We cannot accept liability for the behaviour of others on your tour nor if any facilities are curtailed as a result of their actions.
    • It is your responsibility to ensure you meet your tour at arranged points and times as per your travel documents or your tour guide’s or our representative’s directions. Because of the nature of the service, we will not be liable for third party delays or cancellations. We will endeavour to ensure that departure and arrival times are met.
    • Mobility and Health
    • We want everyone to have the best possible experience on our tours, so it’s important to let you know about some of the physical requirements and limitations to help you assess whether this tour is a good fit for you. At this time, we are unable to accommodate wheelchairs or mobility scooters on our scheduled escorted tours as our coaches are not equipped with ramps, and many of the locations and workshops we visit may not be accessible to those with significant mobility issues.
    • A reasonable walking pace is required to ensure the group can stay on schedule. Participants must be able to:(i) Board the coach and ferries unaided (via steps, gangways, or pontoons) (ii) Walk up to 1 mile unaided at a steady pace (iii) Navigate stairs (up to 25 steps) and uneven or rough terrain at some locations.
    • Please also note that coaches cannot always park directly outside attractions or hotels, so some walking may be necessary. If you choose not to visit an attraction, you will need to make alternative arrangements during that time, as it is not possible to remain on the coach. While our drivers and guides are happy to assist the group as a whole, they are unable to provide individualized support for walking, boarding, or personal needs. If you require any specific assistance, we kindly ask that you share these details with us at the time of booking so we can assess whether reasonable accommodations can be made.
    • For your safety and comfort, we recommend consulting with your physician to confirm your fitness for travel and participation in any planned activities. Every participant is responsible for assessing the suitability of the tour for their own unique needs, circumstances, and health conditions.
    • Health & Safety
    • To ensure the comfort and safety of all participants, we reserve the right to make decisions if a participant’s physical or mental condition significantly impacts the group or the tour schedule. In rare cases where a participant is deemed unfit to continue, our representative may require them to leave the tour at their own expense. While we never take this decision lightly, our priority is to maintain a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
    • Special Diets/Allergies
    • If you have specific dietary requirements, allergies (including food or textile sensitivities), or other needs, it’s very important to let us know in advance of your trip. This allows us to share the information with our suppliers and make arrangements where possible.
    • While we will do our best to accommodate dietary requests, we cannot guarantee that all allergens will be excluded or that all preferences will be met. It’s always a good idea to double-check with staff on-site and confirm that dishes or items are suitable for you. If necessary, please don’t hesitate to ask for alternatives. Your safety is our priority, and we’ll do everything we can to assist within the limits of what’s feasible.
    • How We Can Help
    • We’re here to support you in planning your trip and answering any questions you may have about the physical requirements or accommodations. If you have any concerns or specific needs, please reach out to us before booking. Together, we’ll ensure that you have all the information you need to make the right decision for your situation.
    • Luggage
      Where available, luggage porterage is included for one standard Arline sized checked-in piece of luggage per person. Please limit yourself to one large bag. Porterage starts from hotel reception. You are responsible for taking your luggage to your room where no porterage is available and always responsible for the transfer of your luggage from the coach to the hotel reception. Our drivers and guides cannot provide individualized help with luggage. We are not liable for loss of or damage to luggage, or any other article or purchase while traveling.
    • Accommodation
      Accommodation is provided as either twin (two beds) or double (one king, queen or standard double bed) or single (one single, queen or standard double bed).  Single supplements may apply to sole occupancy of a room. We will request and confirm the room preference required on the booking.  However, we cannot be held responsible if the bedding arrangement requested and confirmed by us is not available on arrival at the accommodation. Bed size relates to standard bed sizes in Ireland and the UK. Unless otherwise specified in your itinerary, room type will be standard. All rooms will be en-suite with either a bath or shower or both unless otherwise specified.
    • Transportation
      All vehicles conform to European standards. All are fitted with seat belts and most are air-conditioned. We ensure that you are provided with a coach that is suitable for the size of your group and that there is sufficient room for luggage. Some coaches may have Wi-Fi internet connection available but we cannot guarantee this. There may also be a charge for this facility. There is no guarantee of bathroom facilities on board and any coach with such a facility usually has restrictions for use. There will be suitable rest stops provided during your tour.
    • Drivers are always available to offer advice and assistance to you and members of your group. They will want you to experience as much as is possible during your stay. Please note however, that the porterage service is for one main item of luggage to be ported from the hotel reception to your room. While in some instances the driver may help with luggage being unloaded from the coach and into reception, this is goodwill and entirely subject to time constraints and numbers and is not to be expected as part of the service.
    • Drivers are restricted with the number of hours in a day they can drive and consecutive days they can drive. They also have a minimum number of hours’ rest required between driving stints. Your itinerary has taken this into account, including relief drivers where necessary. As a consequence, any permitted changes to previously agreed activities, hours of travel and locations may result in additional costs and a relief driver where necessary.
    • What if I become unwell on my tour?
    • In the unlikely event you become unwell during your tour, we are here to help you. Your first task is to notify your guide who may recommend you stay in your room if you believe you have something transmissible, including Covid. Masks are not required on our tours, but you are welcome to wear it should you wish. Your guide will arrange locally for a doctor if you require one or a hospital transfer if necessary. If the group are moving on and you need to recover, you can arrange with the hotel directly for additional nights or your guide will help you find alternative close by accommodation if this is not possible. You will be advised on transport and so on if the need arises. Any changes to the advertised tour will be payable by you, however we will provide all the necessary documentation for insurance claims. We can also assist in you re-joining your group once you are well.
    • All our tours follow the protocols and guidelines of countries and we defer to the individual policies of our hotels where necessary. We respect our knitters’ right to privacy and other rights accordingly and will not notify or discuss any illness, ailments or injuries with any member of your group or our suppliers without your prior consent.
    • Complaints
      Should you wish to make a formal complaint against us please inform us immediately. If the matter cannot be resolved during your trip after the representative’s best endeavours to do so, your complaint should be made in writing to us as soon as is reasonably possible after the holiday, but within 30 days thereof so that your complaint can be investigated. We will not consider any complaints after the 30-day period. You will be assured of respect and courtesy while your complaint is being dealt with.
    • Weather Conditions
      Under no circumstances can we be held responsible for weather conditions. No tour place can be cancelled or amended by you at any time on the basis of weather conditions. We accept no responsibility for weather conditions that may affect the delivery and implementation of our itinerary.
