Notas especiales

  • Currency: In Scotland, the official currency is the British Pound Sterling (GBP). We recommend passengers exchange any spending money into GBP before they travel, as exchanging currency on the go can be inconvenient. Not all places we visit will have ATMs, and while most establishments accept credit or debit cards, it's always best to have some cash on hand, particularly for smaller purchases or in more remote areas. We also suggest keeping some change in coins, as many public toilets in Scotland require a small fee for use. Please note that USD, Euros, or travellers' cheques are not widely accepted at most locations on this tour.
  • Distances: An important point to note whilst on a touring holiday is that some long journeys are unavoidable especially when travelling from city to city. It is advisable passengers carry necessities that they may need for the day such as water, dry snacks, cameras etc. with them in their hand luggage. For this tour it should be noted that the travel times are extensive on this tour.
  • Hotels: Please note that not all hotels on this tour will have air conditioning or kettles. If you require warm milk for a baby, we recommend bringing your bottle warmer and milk supply. Passengers may also want to carry a small travel iron and hairdryer, as these amenities may not be available in all hotel rooms. In some European hotels, double occupancy rooms may consist of two single beds pushed together. We work with such hotels, so please be prepared for this arrangement. If you use additional services such as the phone, minibar, or pay-per-view TV in your room, these costs are not included in the tour package and must be settled directly with the hotel upon checkout. The maximum occupancy per room on this tour is three people. However, from March to May, some hotels may only accommodate a maximum of two people per room.
  • Meals: Passengers can choose from various meal options, including vegetarian, Jain, or non-vegetarian. Please note that Jain and Halal meals may not always be available. We ask that passengers inform the tour manager of their preferred diet on the first day of the tour. Meals are served as pre-set buffets, and menu choices are not available. Only tap water will be provided with meals. On some days, a pre-set continental meal may be served. Breakfast will be provided at the hotels, usually in a designated dining area, and typically consists of a continental selection including tea, coffee, bread, cereals, fruit, and yoghurt. Lunches are generally vegetarian, though there may be occasions when a non-vegetarian dish is offered. Dinners are typically served in a separate dining area within the hotel or at a restaurant. If you have any concerns about the ingredients in a dish, please consult your tour manager. If you require specific allergen information, please get in touch with us in advance so we can assist you accordingly.
  • Pick-Up and Drop-Off Points & Timings: Passengers are advised to arrive at their designated pick-up point no later than 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time. If you have selected a pick-up point outside of Wembley, Southall, or East Ham, your precise pick-up time will be confirmed closer to your departure. On the return journey from, we are scheduled to arrive at Wembley between 21:00 and 22:00 hours. For passengers using our pick-up points services outside of London, transportation may be arranged via private car, minibus, or alternative coach for your journey to and from London. In rare cases, you may experience a wait of up to an hour for a connecting transfer upon your return. Passengers will receive a confirmation call from the lcoal operator the day before departure to finalise details. Please note that We reserve the right to adjust pick-up times up to 12 hours before departure if needed.
  • Visas & Passports: When travelling to the UK, including Scotland and England, it's crucial to ensure your passport and visa requirements are in order before departure. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay in the UK. It is recommended to have at least six months' validity. Ensure your passport has sufficient blank pages for entry and exit stamps. The UK is not part of the Schengen Area, So you do not require Schengen visas for this tour, however if you hold a non EU passport then you will require UK Visa. Please consult the British Embassy in your country of residence. Nationals of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and many other non-European countries must apply for a UK visa in advance. The type of visa will depend on the purpose and length of your stay. For short tourist visits, a standard visitor visa is typically required. Nationals of countries like the USA, Canada, Australia, and most European Union countries do not require a visa for short stays in the UK (up to 6 months for tourism). Please ensure that you apply for your UK visa well in advance of your travel date, as processing times can vary.
  • Weather: The weather in Scotland is often variable and unpredictable, much like in other parts of Western Europe. Regardless of the season, it is advisable to carry an umbrella and be prepared for sudden changes in weather conditions. Lowland Areas (Edinburgh, Glasgow): Temperatures in the lowlands can fluctuate throughout the year. Summers are mild, with temperatures typically ranging from 15-20°C, while winters can drop to around 0-5°C. Rain is common year-round. Highlands & Islands: The weather in the Scottish Highlands and islands can be cooler and more extreme, especially at higher elevations. In summer, temperatures can vary from 10-15°C, but winter temperatures often fall below freezing, especially in remote areas. Bring layers to accommodate shifting temperatures, particularly if you're travelling between lowland and highland regions. Due to Scotland's frequent rain, waterproof jackets and sturdy footwear are essential. Days are short in winter, with darkness setting in as early as 15:30-16:00 hrs, especially in the northern regions. Visitors can enjoy Scotland's stunning landscapes and cities at any time of year by being well-prepared for the changing conditions.
  • Wheelchair Accessibility: We welcome passengers using lightweight manual wheelchairs on our tours, provided the wheelchair can be stowed in the coach's luggage hold. Passengers are encouraged to contact us in advance to ensure we can meet their specific mobility needs. Our staff will try to assist passengers with reduced mobility in compliance with the Regulations. Please note, however, that a family member or companion will need to be present to assist with pushing the wheelchair throughout the tour. We will request accessible hotel rooms for wheelchair users wherever possible, but this depends on availability and cannot be guaranteed. We advise passengers to inform us of their requirements in advance so we can make the necessary requests. Please be aware that specific areas or parts of destinations, such as Ben Nevis and Edinburgh Castle, are inaccessible to wheelchair users. Additionally, locations like Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Loch Lomond have cobbled streets or rugged terrain, which may make it difficult for wheelchairs to navigate. Passengers should take these factors into account when planning their trip.
  • Child Seat Requirement: In most European countries, it is mandatory for children under the age of 12 years or shorter than 150 cm to use appropriate child restraints while travelling in a coach. Children under seven years old or under 125 cm tall must use a child seat with a harness or appropriate restraint system. Children aged 7 to 12 years or between 125 cm and 150 cm tall must use a booster seat or a seat cushion. The parent or guardian is responsible for providing a suitable child seat for their child. Passengers should ensure they bring the appropriate child restraint system that complies with local laws in the visited countries, as there may be minor variations in regulations across European nations.
  • Baggage and Packing: Due to limited storage space on coaches, checking the baggage allowance for your tour before departure is essential. Ensure your luggage meets the size and weight requirements in your tour documents. Excess baggage may not be permitted. Pack a small day bag for personal items, medications, snacks, and travel documents to keep with you during the journey, as accessing the main luggage may not be possible until designated stops.
  • Punctuality: Respect timings during stops; there will be scheduled comfort breaks and sightseeing stops throughout the tour. Be sure to return to the coach on time after each stop to avoid delays and respect the entire group's schedule. Coaches operate on a strict timetable to ensure that all scheduled visits and activities are completed on time. Passengers who arrive late at any point may risk missing the coach, as drivers cannot wait beyond the allocated time for each stop. The tour may sometimes involve changes in coaches or representatives, particularly when merging with other groups. Please adhere to the instructed times for these transitions to ensure smooth coordination.
  • Coach Facilities: While most coaches are equipped with WC facilities, they may be limited in availability. Using restroom facilities during scheduled breaks at rest stops is recommended to avoid discomfort.
  • Seating and Safety: By law, passengers must wear seat belts where fitted. Seats are pre-assigned and given to you on the departure date. Seat requests are not taken under any circumstance.
  • Personal Health and Medication: Bring any necessary medications with you in your day bag. If you are prone to motion sickness, carry appropriate remedies or medications to ensure a comfortable journey. If your tour includes high-altitude destinations, ensure you are medically fit to travel at such heights. Those with heart or lung conditions should consult a doctor beforehand. Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and warm clothing, as temperatures can vary significantly at high altitudes.
  • Cultural and Local Etiquette: Be mindful of the local customs and etiquette, especially when visiting religious or historical sites. Dress modestly where required, and be respectful of local customs and traditions.
  • Electronics and Connectivity: Some coaches are equipped with USB charging ports, but this is not guaranteed. Ensure your devices are charged beforehand, and consider bringing a portable charger/power bank. WiFi is unavailable on the coach, so bring along books, headphones, or downloaded movies and music to enjoy during long journey stretches.
  • Environmental Awareness: Be conscious of the environment during your tour. Carry a reusable water bottle to reduce plastic waste, fill up at restaurants and hotels, and dispose of trash properly at rest stops.
  • Minors cannot travel on their own. All bookings must have a legal guardian or adult over the age of 18, unless where dictated by law. Where a child is travelling without a parent and with a legal guardian or another family member, a child travel consent letter must be provided and carried with you on tour.
  • The maximum baggage weight allowed on our Tours is not to exceed 20 Kg and not exceeding dimensions of 90 x 75 x 43 cm / 35.5 x 29.5 x 16 ins. Only one bag is allowed per passenger; any subsequent bags will be subject to space on the mode of transport along with excess baggage charges.
  • All our tours operate with pre-allocated seating; we reserve the right to assign or reassign seats at any time, even after boarding the mode of transportation. Any indication of your seating is for reference only and is subject to change at any time. No seating requests under any circumstances are taken by the local operator or its carriers.
  • We may operate multiple coaches for our tours; your booking should be under one booking and with the same pickup should you wish to travel with any particulars for any given tour.
  • Coach, accommodation and service facilities may be different for each individual even if travelling on the same tour, vehicle or hotel.
  • Early Bird Offer is not applicable for infants aged 0-23 months for any holidays mentioned on our website or brochure. Infant prices for coach holidays are for a seat only.
  • USD, GBP or travellers' cheques are not widely accepted at locations in this tour.
  • Breakfast will be provided at the hotels. The breakfast is usually in a separate dining area of the hotel and is usually a continental breakfast, which will consist of tea, coffee, bread, cereals, fruit and yoghurt.
  • Passengers can choose from different diets, including vegetarian, Jain or non-vegetarian (Halal will not always be available) meals. Passengers should advise the tour representative of their preferred diet on day one. The meals are pre-set buffet, and a choice of menu is not available. Meals will be provided with tap water only.
  • Lunches are not provided on this tour, where there is a possibility of stopping at a service station the choice for vegetarians may be limited. We highly recommend if you have specific dietary requirements then you should make arrangements to carry your own food for lunch.
  • Some hotels in Europe, especially France will provide two single beds put together as a Double occupancy room, as this sort of configuration allows the hotel to use a room for multi-use, we do contract with such hotels, and you should be prepared for such eventualities.
  • If you use services such as the phone or mini-bar or pay TV whilst in your room, you will have to pay the hotel directly when you check out; these services are not included in your tour cost.
  • Passengers can be well prepared by ensuring they are carrying appropriate clothing, footwear and accessories. Passengers should also be aware that during the winter months most of the sightseeing will be in the dark as, in Europe, the day becomes dark very early during winter. Passengers should consult with us at the time of booking if they are unsure.

The time we mentioned in the itinerary is for reference only. Please refer to your guide on tour for the actual arrangement. The visiting order and duration might be changed according to actual and practical situation for better service.
