Our office can advise you if you are in doubt but it is the responsibility of each individual to ensure they have the correct travel documents and permits.
7. COMPLAINTS
In the unlikely event of you having a problem during your holiday please inform your Tour Director who will do his best to put things right immediately.

8. PETS
Domestic pets can now be taken to many countries that we visit. It is your own responsibility to ensure that your pet has the necessary documentation to enter the countries being visited and to comply with re-entry regulations.
9. TRAVEL INSURANCE
The purpose of this condition is to ensure that our clients are adequately protected and have a worry free holiday. GB Privilege Ltd. has a legal liability to draw your attention to the need for travel insurance. It is a condition of booking with GB Privilege Ltd. that each client carry travel insurance to include the following: Holiday Cancellation
Medical insurance £1,000,000 minimum (including repatriation)
Liability insurance £1,000,000 minimum
We also recommend that your cover include holiday interruption/cancellation and personal accident. Please note that should you expect to indulge in certain dangerous activities, these may not be covered by standard travel insurance. GB Privilege Ltd. cannot be held liable in the event of any claim arising out of events beyond their control, as a result of optional activities run by others or as a result of clients indulging in activities which were not part of the original booking. Should an accident or injury occur whilst you are on holiday your Tour Director will take prompt action without checking on your insurance. For this reason we therefore require a copy of your insurance cover on payment of the holiday balance. Failure to provide proof of adequate travel insurance may result in the cancellation of the holiday on the same terms as cancellation by the client.
GB Privilege Ltd. can offer insurance which covers cancellation as well as the necessary medical and travel cover, at competitive rates.
10. DISCLAIMER
Certain elements of the holiday are beyond our control and the Company cannot be held liable for failure or non performance by others, cancellation of activities through weather conditions or Force Majeure etc. Should the Tour Director, at his sole discretion, alter the route or make any changes whatever because he considers there may be a danger to person or properly then his decision is binding and cannot result in a claim against the Company. The Tour Director is an experienced traveller in the type of area you will be visiting and will use his knowledge to the best of his ability to ensure that you have a pleasurable and safe holiday. However, there are factors beyond his control and his opinion that an area or activity is safe is an opinion only and is not a guarantee.
11. OUR PRICE GUARANTEE
Whilst we reserve the right to change the prices shown in our brochure at any time, we guarantee that the price of the holiday shown on your invoice will not be increased or subject to surcharge (unless as a result of government legislation) once you have paid your deposit.
12. BEHAVIOUR
If any tour participant behaves in a manner that is considered objectionable by the tour director, and that behaviour is spoiling the tour for the other participants, they will be asked to leave the tour. In this event, no refunds will be made.
NB Please read paragraph 9 regarding insurance and particularly the cancellation aspect which is necessary to safeguard deposits and balance payments in the event of the need to cancel due to illness or family circumstances beyond your control.
