Additional Excursions
We design our itineraries so that all the necessary
excursions and places of interest are included to give the
passenger the best possible holiday at an affordable price.
However, often, the tour representative or local ground
operator will offer passengers additional excursions that
are designed to enhance the holiday experience and are not
included in the tour cost.
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
You should always follow the protocol for flights as set out
by the airline. You should check the board at the airport for
any flight delays, change of gate number or any other useful
information provided by the airline.
Visas & Passports
When travelling to Europe, its
crucial to ensure your passport and visa requirements are in
order before departure.
Passport Requirements:
Your passport must be valid for at least
three months beyond your intended stay in Europe. It should
also have been issued within the last ten years and/have
sufficient blank pages for entry and exit stamps.
Visa Requirements:
If you are a national of India, Pakistan, or
Bangladesh, you must obtain a Schengen visa before travelling.
This visa allows entry into any of the 27 Schengen countries
for short stays (up to 90 days within 180 days).
Ensure you apply for your Schengen visa well
in advance, as processing times may vary.
Nationals of British, American, Australian,
Canadian, and other visa-exempt countries currently do not
require a Schengen visa for short stays (up to 90 days within
180 days). However, starting in 2025, all visa-exempt
travellers (including British and American citizens) must apply
for ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization
System) before entering the Schengen Area.
The ETIAS application is a simple online
process that requires travellers to provide personal
information and pay a small fee (7). Once approved, the
authorisation will be valid for three years or until your
passport expires.
Entry/Exit System (EES):
From Early 2025, the EES will be introduced
across Schengen countries. This system will electronically
record the entry and exit of all non-EU travellers, replacing
manual passport stamping. Travelers biometric data
(fingerprints and facial images) will be/recorded during their
first entry into the Schengen Area.
If you need more information or assistance
with your visa or ETIAS requirements, please dont
hesitate to contact us.
Weather
The Summers are light and the temperatures are mild. Above
the Arctic Circle you can experience the Midnight Sun. Much of
the Nordic countries are covered in snow during Winter;
although snow is much rarer in the south and along the coast.
During winter you will experience the dark season; above the
Arctic Circle there will be a period without daylight. Thus
increasing the chances of seeing the Northern Lights. Autumn
offers an explosion of colours while Spring brings nature alive
after a long winter. During Autumn and Spring you have the
opportunity to visit some of the most popular destinations
outside high season.
Wheelchair Accessibility, Child Seats and Passenger
Information
We welcome passengers using lightweight
manual wheelchairs on our tours, provided the wheelchair can be
stowed in the coachs 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 destinations,
such as Mt. Titlis and the Eiffel Tower, are inaccessible to
wheelchair users. Additionally, locations like Brussels,
Lucerne, Lion Monument, Pisa, Rome, Venice, and Florence have
cobbled streets, which may make it difficult for wheelchairs to
navigate. Passengers should take these factors into account
when planning their trip.
Child Seat Requirements:
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.
Other Advisories
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.
