Health & Vaccinations All clients are responsible for ensuring that they conform to the health regulations of the countries they are visiting. For recommended inoculations and health guidelines please consult your GP or alternatively the Department of Health. We strongly recommend that you check with your doctor or seek professional medical advice in respect of vaccinations required for specific areas as this information is constantly changing and being updated by both the destination country and the Department of Health. Precautions against Malaria should be adhered to at all times.

General Health Safety & Security It is important to note that some countries and/or suppliers do not conform to British health and safety standards. The applicable safety standards and regulations which apply overseas are those of the country concerned and as a result, general standards of safety, hygiene, fire precautions etc. can be different to those we take for granted in the UK. You are therefore requested to take great care when first venturing into unfamiliar territory, buildings or surroundings. Petty crime, robberies and muggings can occur anywhere in the world and some destinations, particularly large cities, are worse than others. As a general rule, drink only bottled water and check the seal is secure when you receive it. Do not eat raw vegetables, unpeeled fruit and raw uncooked seafood. Avoid food and drink from street vendors and restaurants that might have suspect refrigeration and sanitary practices. Always respect local customs, standards and sensibilities especially in areas of cultural and religious importance, as failure to do so may offend local inhabitants.

Foreign & Commonwealth Office Advice We take the safety of our clients very seriously and we receive information on a regular basis about conditions at a local level from our local representatives. However when deciding whether particular countries or regions are safe for travel the final decision is dependent on the guidance of the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO). If you would like to know the current travel advice for any country you can visit the FCO website  or call 0870 6060290.

Travel Insurance We strongly recommend that each passenger should travel with adequate insurance cover. Insurance will ensure that you are covered against cancellation charges, medical costs incurred whilst away from home, personal liability claims, loss of money etc. We can offer you a competitive insurance quote from our chosen supplier. Please ask your agent for a quote at the time of booking.
