INSURANCE
We have full Tour Group Liability Insurance and our Coach Operator has the same coverage for when traveling. Please ensure that you have full up-to-date personal travel insurance to cover your complete trip from home back to home, which includes health insurance and baggage coverage.
HEALTH
The United Kingdom has a universal healthcare system that is mostly free for all residents through the National Health Service. Only treatment in an emergency department and for certain infectious diseases is free to people not ordinarily resident, such as visitors or illegal immigrants. Therefore, it is important that you arrive healthy and bring any medications that you need. If you have specific health issues, please inform us of any special requirements you may have. Due to the conditions of the historic sites that we will be visiting, it is very difficult to accommodate wheelchairs. We will endeavor to accommodate special dietary requirements where possible.
