Currency
In Scotland the currency you will require will be Pounds
(GBP/Sterling). Star Tours advices passengers to exchange
any spending money for their holiday before they actually
travel. Whilst on tour it is very inconvenient to change money
and most places we will be visiting will not have ATM machines
or accept credit/debit cards.
We also advice our passengers to keep some change in coins
on them whilst on tour as using toilets in many parts of
Scotland is not free.
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.
Food
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 yogurt.
Passengers can choose from different diets, including
vegetarian, Jain or non-vegetarian (Halal will not always be
available) meals. Passengers should advice their tour
representative of their preferred diet on the 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 usually vegetarian only and are provided
outdoors at a service station/rest area where limited or no
seating is available. Lunch is served in a picnic style buffet
arrangement. Dinners are usually provided within the hotel or
restaurant in a separate dining facility. You should always
consult your tour representative if you are not sure of what
ingredients a dish contains.

Hotels
Not all hotels in this tour will have air-conditioning so
you should carry a small portable fan with you especially
during the summer months.
Please also note that not all hotels provide a kettle so if
hot water is required for warming milk etc in the hotel then it
is advisable to carry a bottle warmer / kettle as well as a
thermos flask. Passengers may also want to carry a small travel
iron and hair dryer etc, as many hotel rooms may not have these
facilities.
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.
The maximum occupancy per room on this tour is 3
person(s).
Other Advisories
High Altitude
You should only make trips to high altitudes if you feel
healthy. The following recommendations apply:
Advanced age is no barrier to high altitude. For blood
pressure patients who are well controlled with medication, the
altitude is not a concern. Asthmatics can travel to high
altitudes without any problems. High-altitude air is less
polluted with particles that can cause an asthma attack.
Epileptics who are well controlled with medication should be
able to negotiate the altitude.
Pregnant women: There may be a certain risk for pregnancy
even without pre-existing diseases over 2500-3000 metres.
Caution is therefore advised if in doubt, please consult your
doctor in advance.
Infants: Short-term stays at the mountain tops are
unproblematic. Infants and young children are often unable to
equalise pressure during descent and are therefore increasingly
at risk of ear irritation. Regular swallowing (drinking,
sucking on a bottle) during the descent can prevent the
occurrence of irritation.
Because children can chill faster than adults, always pay
attention to sufficient protection from the cold at high
altitude. Sunglasses and a good sunscreen are necessary on the
glaciers!
High altitude visits not recommended for:
Lung and heart patients who are already short of breath
while at rest or when climbing stairs are advised not to stay
at high altitude. Patients with angina pectoris or severely
impaired performance with heart enlargement and heart failure
should not visit high altitude. Coronary artery disease (angina
pectoris) and heart enlargement with medical therapy should not
visit high altitude. Patients with a pronounced risk profile
for cardiovascular disease (smoker + high blood pressure +
diabetes + high blood fats + overweight + occasional chest
pain) should consult the doctor before visiting high
altitude.
Do not stay at high altitude after having striated muscles
or a stroke.
Pick up and Drop off points & Times

than 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Your

Visa Details
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.
Weather
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 Scotland,
the day becomes dark very early during winter. Passengers
should consult with Star Tours at the time of booking if they
are unsure.
Wheelchairs & Child Seats
We will accept light weight manual wheelchairs for travel,
subject to them being capable of being stowed in the luggage
hold of the coach. It is also essential that a family
member is also on the tour to push their wheelchair. Star
Tours will also request hotels for suitably equipped
rooms; however, this is only on a request basis and cannot be
guaranteed. It should be noted Ben Nevis is not fully
accessible for a wheelchair user. Some part of Edinburgh will
have cobbled streets, which may not be suitable for
wheelchairs.
In most of Europe, the use of child seats in coaches is
mandatory for children under the age of 12 or who are shorter
than 150 cm. Children under 7 years old or less than 125 cm
tall must use a child seat with a harness or a restraint
system. Children between 7 and 12 years old or between 125 and
150 cm tall must use a booster seat or a seat cushion. It is
the responsibility of the child's parent or guardian to provide
the appropriate child seat for their child.
