Why does a holiday show a date next to its price?

Every price on this site is the last one published for that holiday, and the date is when that price was valid to. Most of those dates have passed. Fares and hotel rates move, so message us and we send today’s price for the same plan.

Is the price per person?

Yes. Published prices are per person, usually for two sharing a room. A single traveller, a child or an extra bed changes the price; tell us who is travelling.

Are GST and TCS included?

Most packages list GST and tax collected at source under what is not included. A tour operator’s package carries 5% GST. An overseas package also carries 2% TCS, which you can claim back against your own income tax. See the rules page for the official sources.

What is the difference between a holiday and a fixed departure?

A holiday runs on the dates you choose. A fixed departure is a group trip on set dates, often with flights included; its published dates and prices are printed on its page.

Can a published plan be changed?

Ask us. The published plan is a starting point: tell us what you would add, drop or swap and we quote the new version.

Will I stay in the hotel named on the page?

Hotels are listed as published, “or similar”. We confirm the actual hotel with the price, before you pay.

Do you help with visas?

Visa assistance is one of our services. Entry rules for each destination, with their official sources, are on the rules page.

How do I book?

Save the holidays you like to your shortlist and send it to us on WhatsApp in one message, or call the office. There is no online payment on this site.
