Great War Tours Terms and Conditions

Journey Payment
The deposit of £100 per person (or full payment if booking within 6 weeks of departure) must accompany a completed booking form. Deposits for private tours vary according to the construction of the tour to meet the individual’s needs. The person signing the booking form authorises and is responsible for the booking on behalf of those included on the form. Final payment for the Journey must be made 42 days before the journey departure date.

Journey Price
All prices quoted are guaranteed, and Great War Tours will absorb any currency fluctuations, hotel, or travel price increases.

Alteration/Cancel of Scheduled Programme by Great War Tours
Great War Tours reserves the right to make adjustments to a published Journey itinerary for administrative reasons or in the interest of travellers. If prior to the Journey departure Great War Tours must make a significant change owing to unforeseen circumstances to the Journey departure, travel times, battlefield location, method of travel or hotel venue, you will be advised immediately and an alternative Journey (subject to availability) or a refund in full will be offered. In the unlikely event that after departure Great War Tours is unable to provide a significant proportion of the Journey package, suitable alternative arrangements will be made at no extra cost to you. If it is not possible to make suitable alternative arrangements, or they are not acceptable to you for good reasons, compensation will be made by Great War Tours

Transfer of Booking
If you are prevented from joining a journey, you may transfer the booking to another person, or another Journey (subject to availability) provided that Great War Tours are informed before the Journey departure and agree to the transfer. The transferor or transferee are jointly and severally liable to Great War Tours for any outstanding payments.
