If you are a group travel organiser and require us to help you plan and operate your group arrangements. The following are some of the key questions that we will ask you in order to put together a competitive quote:

Where do you want to go ?

An obvious place to start!

What time of year do you want to travel ?

There may be several possible departures convenient for your group to travel. We may also offer advice as to times of year or days of the week that will best suit your itinerary, bearing in mind opening and closing times of monuments, museums, seasonal events, etc.

Would you like us to include a free place ?

It is quite standard practice for the group organiser to travel free of charge on the tour. In some cases, particularly when a lecturer accompanies the group from the UK, there is the need to factor in a second free place. Please let us know your requirements.

What type of hotel and meal arrangements do you prefer ?

In most cases, we can offer advice based on the experience of previous groups and based on what is practical within the itinerary. Do let us know your preferences. We realise that expectations can vary from group to group and we will discuss this fully with you.

How intensive do you want the tour to be ?

Some groups like a more leisurely tour with some free time, while others specifically want an in-depth study tour.

Do you have an idea of the budget for your tour ?

You may well have a clear idea of your members’ expectations of what the tour should cost. It is always useful if a realistic budget can be established from the outset to enable us to provide an appropriate quotation.

How long do you want your trip to last ?

Again an obvious question, we may offer advice with some destinations as there may be only certain days of the week for flights.

How many people do you anticipate in your group ?

We don’t expect you to know the exact number of participants at this stage, but it is helpful if you can make an educated guess so that we can provide you with a realistic quote.

What level of guiding would you like ?

You may choose to travel with a lecturer from the UK; you may prefer for a guide-lecturer to orchestrate the programme of visits locally; you may want a local guide only for some specific visits. In most cases we can only provide you with local guides and/or tour managers but we are happy to contact any lecturers you may want to employ on your behalf .

Do you want to use the tour to raise money ?

By adding a small margin to our quoted price, you tour can generate funds for your society or association
