Tour Cost and Booking
How to Book
When you’re ready to book your trip, just get in touch with us and we will check availability and get you booked in. We don’t yet offer online booking but are hoping to have that available soon. In the meantime, our team can confirm your booking over the phone, by email or via Zoom, Google Meetings or Microsoft Teams – just let us know how you’d prefer to be contacted and we will arrange the rest!
We just need to know which trip you’d like to book, the names of those travelling, your phone number(s) and your preferred choice of room or cabin (double or twin bedded). To confirm your booking, we will need to take a deposit of £700 per person. All bookings are made in accordance with our Booking Conditions.
If you’re not quite ready to confirm your trip, we can usually hold a place provisionally for up to a week.
Payments may be paid by:
1. Bank transfer (either to our UK Pound Sterling account or one of our foreign currency accounts e.g. US$, AU$, NZ$, CA$ etc.)
2. Credit Card. Transactions are processed in Pounds Sterling. For non-UK/EU credit cards there is a small surcharge of 2.5%. We accept payment by UK credit cards for deposits only. We ask that our UK guests make their final balance payments by bank transfer.
Once you have organised the deposit payment, we will ask you to please fill in the traveller information form which will be sent to you with your booking confirmation.

Health
Guidelines laid down by the UK Department of Health say you do not require any specific inoculations for the locations covered by our tours.
Payment Protection
We are a Member of ABTA, membership number Y6151. Peter Sommer Travels Ltd. has provided a Bond held by ABTA to meet the requirements of the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992. All passengers booking with us are fully protected as detailed in the ABTA Bond for their initial deposit and balance payments made, in the unlikely event of cancellation or curtailment of your travel arrangements due to our insolvency.
Price Guarantee
Many tour operators apply surcharges with high inflation, when exchange rates fluctuate or fuel prices/taxes increase. We will not pass on the costs of such changes; once we have confirmed your booking we guarantee the price of your trip won’t change.
