Safety Policy
If the country’s Foreign Office advises that travellers should not visit a particular country, then we’ll act on this to keep you safe and reserve the right to cancel your holiday. We’ll do our best to create a new holiday for you within your price range, but if this can’t be done or travel is imminent, we’ll offer you the option of cancelling your holiday with a full refund.
You have the same responsibility for your personal safety and possessions as you do at home, so take look at the travel advice before you travel. You can choose your destination and find advice including local laws and customs.
