All members of this professional body adhere to a rigorous Code of Practice and Safety Management Standards.

ABTA

We are members of ABTA (membership no.V0847). The coach tours in our programme are protected by way of a bond held by ABTA. ABTA and ABTA Members help holidaymakers get the most from their travel and assist them when things do not go according to plan. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct.

When you pay you will be supplied with an ATOL Certificate. Please ask for it and check to ensure that everything you booked (flights, hotels and other services) is listed on it.
