12. Next steps for booking with European Study Tours
Provisional Booking – We will hold the travel and accommodation arrangements for your tour while you collect deposits, except in the case of low cost airlines which cannot be held. In this case your price will be based on an estimated flight price and we therefore recommend you ask for an additional £50 contingency to cover any price fluctuation between quoting and time of booking. Booking – You must pay a deposit at the time of booking of £50 per person for UK coach and rail tours, £75 per person for overseas coach and rail tours and £150 per person for air tours. In the case of Low Cost Airlines we will also need a full names list (as per passport). We will then commit to the travel arrangements agreed and begin work on planning your itinerary.
You will be registered on our online portal My Tour Manager which will allow you to access your booking at any time where you can view documents, submit passenger information as well as receive reminders about important deadlines to help keep your tour planning on track.
Final payment - Final payment for your tour will be due ten weeks before departure. Approximately three weeks before travel (and provided the balance has been paid in full) you will receive a Final Information Pack including tickets, your finalised itinerary and other essential information. Your trip! – From the moment you leave, our staff are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, equipped with every detail of your tour in the unlikely event that you should encounter any difficulties while you are away.
