As we wander through the streets we’ll see villas decorated with frescos and brightly coloured mosaics, the remarkable Roman baths and spectacular amphitheatre. There are many pizzerias and restaurants close to our hotel and this evening is free for you to dine out with your travelling companions, if you wish. (B) DAY 3 CAPRI

DAY 1 UK TO NAPLES
Today you will fly to Naples and on arrival we will transfer you to your hotel. After time to settle in, meet your fellow travellers over a drink and dinner this evening.(D) DAY 2 SORRENTO
Walk 4 km/2.5 mi - 3hrs After breakfast we will drive to the village of Sant’Agata sui due Golfi and on to the Monastery of Il Deserto. In years gone by, this was a popular stop for travellers on the Grand Tour, thanks to its spectacular setting overlooking the two gulfs of Naples and Salerno. After time to admire the panoramic views, we’ll set off on our walk. We'll follow ancient paths up to the peaceful hamlet of Priora, and then make our way to Sorrento. You'll have some free time here to explore and perhaps stop for a drink, before our walk continues to the delightful fishing village of Marina Grande. Set around a small bay, you could choose to enjoy a spot of lunch in one of the restaurants before we board a private boat for a cruise along the coast. Sit back, relax and soak up the sun as we sail past the Roman ruins of Villa Giovanna, unspoilt bays and a pretty fishing village. (B,D) DAY 3 AMALFI & RAVELLO
Walk 8 km/5 mi - 3hrs Today we are going to discover the wonders of the Amalfi Coast. Our walk begins in the village of San Lazzaro, in the hills above Amalfi. After a gentle climb up Monte Murillo, we’ll see the Amalfi gorge, and make our way to Pogerola. Overlooking the sea, this little village clings to the hillside and from here we’ll descend towards Amalfi, stopping at a mill to see how paper was made in the days of the Maritime Republic. Spend some time exploring Amalfi at your leisure, before we travel by coach to Ravello. We’ll walk a short distance to admire the spectacular scenery on our drive back to the hotel.(B,D) DAY 4 POMPEII & MOUNT VESUVIUS
How you spend today is completely up to you. You could choose to relax at the hotel, or join us on an optional trip to Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius. The Roman city of Pompeii was buried in ash and rubble when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD. Hidden from the world for nearly 2,000 years, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage site, and a Local Guide will accompany us on our tour. We’ll get a fascinating insight into the last days of the people who lived here and see homes adorned with detailed frescoes, Roman baths and bakeries that still have bread in their ovens! Later we’ll drive high up onto the slopes of Mount Vesuvius to view the volcanic crater and take a walk led by an expert Local Guide. (B,D)
Capri
DAY 5 PUNTA CAMPANELLA
Walk 5 km/3.10 mi - 3hrs Our day begins in Termini di Massa Lubrense, where your Tour Guide will introduce you to the local grocery, fruit and vegetable shops. If you wish, you could buy some items to enjoy as a picnic lunch later in the day. From here, we’ll set off on foot and start the gentle climb up to one of the two peaks of Monte San Costanzo. There is a little white chapel at the top which we will admire, along with incredible views out across the shimmering waters of the bays of Salerno and Naples. Our descent takes us past an old NATO radar, which is now an air traffic control unit, down to Punta Campanella. After pausing for a while to rest our legs and take in the view of the Island of Capri, we’ll make our way back to Termini on a cobblestone footpath. (B,D) DAY 6 CAPRI
An optional excursion today gives you the chance to set sail for the enchanting island of Capri, a favoured spot of the international jet set from the 1950s to today. In its time, the island also charmed a Roman emperor or two. In fact, you can still see the ruins of Tiberius’ magnificent Villa Jovis and admire the views from the cliffs over which he is said to have thrown his enemies! On our guided tour you’ll get to see the Faraglioni Rocks and visit the wonderful Gardens of Augustus, where you’ll find colourful terraces filled with flowers. There may also be some free time, during which you could choose to take the chairlift from Anacapri up to the highest point of the island. (B,D) DAY 7 PATH OF THE GODS Walk 11 km/7 mi – 4.5hrs
After breakfast we will drive to the village of Bomerano. If you wish, there will be time to enjoy a cappuccino before we set off on today’s fascinating walk. Beginning with a stroll through the village, we’ll make our way through fields of vegetables to join the Path of the Gods, a stunning trail which clings to the Amalfi Coast. The scenery is simply breathtaking, so be sure to bring your camera. Look down to see rocky cliffs plunging into the sea and the villages of Praiano and Positano in the distance.

Pompeii
Glance upwards and beautiful Monte Faito, part of the Lattari mountains, soars towards the sky. Our walk takes us past abandoned shepherd’s houses and caves with 1,000-year-old-stalagtites. Inside one of the caves, a stream of natural water constantly flows and is surrounded by lush vegetation. After a while, we’ll reach the remote village of Nocelle, which is inaccessible by car or bike. We’ll pause to watch the small cable cars bringing goods to the village from the main road below, and then carry on to the small town of Montepertuso. There will be time to explore and enjoy lunch here if you wish. It’s then just a short walk down a steep staircase into Positano, but be warned, there are so many photo opportunities on the way, it could take us sometime to reach the village! Take the weight off your feet and enjoy a well-earned drink, relax on the beach or explore Positano at leisure – the choice is all yours before we return to the hotel by coach. This evening we’ll enjoy a farewell get-together and dinner at the hotel. (B,D) DAY 8 NAPLES TO UK
Your holiday comes to an end today as we transfer you to the airport for your return flight to the UK. (B) Please note: There will be plenty of rest stops and time to enjoy the local scenery.

The setting for this once fortified manor house is spectacular, as the scenery stretches out across the bourgainvilia adorned terraces to miles of idyllic countryside. (B,L,D) DAY 3 MATERA
Matera is a fascinating city, famous for the Sassi stone houses that decorate the landscape.

DAY 1 UK TO PANTELLERIA
Today we’ll fly to Pantelleria, and on arrival we’ll transfer you to your hotel, which is located in a tranquil spot overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean.(D) DAY 2 GADIR & MURSIA
After breakfast we’ll head off for a tour of Gadir, whose name – derived from Arabic – means ‘water basin’. A traditional fishing village with a long history, here you can bathe in the thermal waters of the Bay of Gadir in tanks that have been dug into the rock. Temperatures rise to 40-550C and numerous therapeutic minerals enrich the waters to ease aching muscles and soothe mind and body alike. On a stroll you might see fisherman weaving their ‘nasse’ – traditional fish traps made from rushes – before we pass by the Arch of the Elephant, a stunning rock formation that gives the impression an elephant is dipping its trunk into the sea. We’ll then tour the Bronze Age archaeological site at the village of Mursia, where the necropolis features fascinating circular tombs dating back more than 4,000 years. (B,D) DAY 3 MIRROR OF VENUS LAKE & PANTELLERIA
Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before we leave for today’s first truly special destination – one of the many jewels of this island that make it so unique. The heart-shaped ‘Mirror of Venus’ Lake stands out from the middle of the island like a blue-green gem, with a stunning aquamarine hue that changes throughout the day. For an unforgettable natural spa experience, cover yourself in the mineral-rich mud here before bathing in the wonderfully warm volcanic waters of the lake. This afternoon, the museum of Punta Spadillo offers a fascinating insight into volcanology, telling the story of Pantelleria’s turbulent geological past and present. Later, we’ll visit Pantelleria’s imposing, sandcastleshaped castle, the Castello di Barbacane. Built entirely of lava stone, it’s thought to date back to the 13th century, with impressive 15th century bastions and a distinctive central circular clock tower. It houses some of the archaeological finds found during excavation campaigns on the island, as well as various permanent exhibitions. An astonishing Roman acropolis at the archaeological site of San Marco and Santa Teresa is also in our sights today – a unique reminder of Pantelleria’s ancient past as the island of Cossyra. Its strategic position, between Africa and Italy in the central Mediterranean, means the island has always been a sought-after destination. Here, in 2003, the heads of Roman statues dating back to the first century AD were found.(B,L,D) DAY 4 PANTELLERIA ISLAND CRUISE The best way to appreciate Pantelleria’s wild, rugged coastline is by sea, and that’s just what we’ll do today on
Dammuso roofs
a cruise that also includes lunch. We’ll head to the port of Pantelleria to board our boat, and you can expect to see dazzling white pebble beaches, hidden inlets only reachable by boat and numerous caves, including the Grotto of Love and the caves of Macasinazzi, where impossibly blue waters meet smoothed-out, lava-grey rock. We’ll stop and swim in the warm waters at Nika and at Scarpetta di Cenerentola – a creek called ‘Cinderella’s shoe’. After a swim, you can soak up the sun on the boat’s sun deck, or retreat to a shady spot on board as you admire the hidden, unspoilt beauty of this island gem. (B,L,D) DAY 5 PANTELLERIA ISLAND NATIONAL PARK & BENIKULA CAVE
Join your travelling companions for an exciting adventure in the heart of Pantelleria Island National Park today. Spend the morning learning about the challenges of farming this rugged landscape at a traditional farm – you’ll have noticed the ingenious terracing farmers have created for crops as we tour the island. Pick the locally-grown capers or grapes before enjoying a farmer’s lunch and cookery demonstration. This afternoon, the wildness of the island will be brought vividly to life as we travel to an area of outstanding beauty, where no human intervention has ever occurred. We’ll take an ancient mule track to Benikulà cave, where we’ll enjoy the unique phenomenon of a natural sauna. Sit on the lava-stone seats and enjoy the healing underground vapours – the deeper into the cave you venture, the hotter the vapours become. You’re sure to emerge feeling rejuvenated! We’ll also learn about the medicinal Mediterranean herbs that grow in the area. (B,L,D) DAY 6 FAVARE
Spend today at leisure enjoying the hotel’s seawater swimming pools, or why not take an optional trip to experience the famous Favare of Pantelleria. These steam emissions come out of the rocks, reaching temperatures of up to 1000C. We’ll take a short hike along a rocky path to reach them, through lush vegetation abundant with wildlife and flowers. When we arrive, you’ll be treated to some fantastic views. Admire the deep red-brick colour of the rocks at this amazing location, affected by the sulphurous gases released here, and learn about the ingenious systems farmers have put in place to utilise the steam, providing water for their animals. Later, we’ll head to a restaurant where we’ll taste some local delicacies. Pantelleria is known for its delicious caper pesto, pasta with tomatoes and pistachios, luscious ricotta cheese and sweet passito wine, made from Zibibbo grapes dried in the sun. (B,D) DAY 7 PANTELLERIA
Pantelleria’s rocky coastline makes it ideal for snorkelling, with a seabed undisturbed by sand. Today, perhaps you’ll join our optional snorkelling excursion to discover

OUR GUARANTEES TO YOU GUARANTEED DEPARTURES & CANCELLATION OF A TOUR BY US Certain Tours we offer are “Guaranteed Departures.” A departure date for a Tour offered by us will become a “Guaranteed Departure” when at least one booking secured by a valid deposit has been made on that departure. Please note that not all of our departures will be Guaranteed Departures. Our brochures and website display Guaranteed Departure dates with a . A departure will not be considered a “Guaranteed Departure” unless specifically noted as such in our brochures or on our website. Other dates may be visible to book which are non-guaranteed; these dates may become Guaranteed Departures as the season continues. We guarantee that all scheduled Tour departures booked and secured with a valid deposit will depart as indicated on the applicable confirmation, subject to reasonable itinerary changes as described in these Terms or good faith, health and safety concerns. This guarantee is not applicable in the case of Force Majeure. Up-to-date Tour and itinerary information is available on our website or by contacting us. Brochures and other printed materials displaying Tour information and departure dates are subject to change and may not be relied upon for purposes of this guarantee. If a Tour is cancelled by us before the date of departure for reasons other than Force Majeure and the cancellation is not caused by your fault or negligence, you will have the choice of accepting from us: (a) a substitute Tour of equivalent or superior value; or (b) a substitute Tour of lesser value if no Tour of equivalent or superior value is reasonably available and to recover from us the difference in price between the price of the Tour originally purchased and the substitute Tour; or (c) a full refund of all monies paid for the cancelled Tour. We are not responsible for any incidental expenses or consequential losses that you incur as a result of the cancelled booking including visas, vaccinations, non-refundable flights or rail, non-refundable car parking or other fees, loss of earnings, or loss of enjoyment. We reserve the right to issue a full refund in lieu of the choices above, in our sole discretion. Where a significant element of a Tour as described cannot be provided after departure, we will make suitable alternative arrangements where possible. If it is not possible to provide a suitable alternative or if you reasonably reject any suitable alternatives, we may provide you with a refund for unused products or services as determined in our discretion.
PRICE PROMISE Limited places are available on each date at the lowest price. However, if you see your Tour departure date advertised for less than you paid we will refund the difference. Occasionally we promote selected special offer holidays within 12 weeks of departure which are excluded from the price promise guarantee. We guarantee that absolutely no surcharge will be added to the basic price of your holiday once your booking has been confirmed irrespective of any subsequent fluctuation in currency exchange rates or, increases in international air fares or increases in other costs associated with the holiday. In return for this guarantee and its risk to us we shall not be able to make any refunds in the event of favourable exchange rate variations or other decreases in costs which may result in a reduction in the selling price. This price guarantee does not apply to any optional services including, but not limited to, insurance premiums, visa charges, excursion charges and amendment fees. For bookings made within the balance due date and prior to confirming your holiday we reserve the right to notify you of any increases to your holiday price as a result of any additional costs we may be charged. Prices shown in our brochures and on the website are believed correct at the time of publication. We reserve the right to change prices from time to time. Accordingly, it is possible that when you book your holiday the actual price may have gone up or down. If the price of your holiday has changed the correct price will be confirmed at the time of booking. We reserve the right to correct errors at any time.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the brochure/website and prices at the time of printing regrettably errors do occur. You must therefore ensure you check the details of your chosen holiday with us at the time of booking. Verbal and website price quotations will be regarded as provisional until confirmed in writing on your Confirmation invoice. In the unlikely event of an administrative error resulting in incorrect prices being displayed on the website, we reserve the right to correct the price. In such cases we will offer you the opportunity to either pay the correct price or we will make a full refund of any money you may have paid.
PRICE MATCH If you find an identical package holiday offered by one of our competitors (excluding any online special offers or arrangements made by yourself rather than through a tour operator) at a lower price within 7 days of booking with us our ‘price match’ will apply. Price match is also available on Make Your Own Way (MYOW) bookings by comparison to an equivalent tour-only competitor product. By identical, we mean another holiday which: • Departs on the same day from the same port/ airport using the same flight with the same carrier (if Flight-Inclusive). • Visits the same destination(s). • Has the same duration (i.e. number of nights). • Offers the same number of included excursions. • Features accommodation of the same category and board basis and, where applicable, the services of a Tour Manager/Local guide. If this happens we will refund the difference between the cost of the Flight-Inclusive package/ MYOW holiday that you have booked with us and the price of the identical holiday offered by our competitor. Plus we will give you an extra £100 per person towards a future booking. Refunds will be in the form of a credit towards future travel. Applicable to new bookings only.
LOYALTY BENEFITS If you qualify for a loyalty discount, the amount will depend on spend and tour type. The new booking must be made within 6 months of your return date and must depart within 12 months of the return date of your original holiday.
PROTECTED DEPOSIT On Just You holidays featured in this brochure, you may have the option of protecting your deposit payment. Protected Deposits: If you cancel your booking of a Qualifying Holiday (as defined below) greater than 84 days prior to departure, and that cancellation is not a result of non-payment or any other breach of these Terms, the deposit amount will be held with us as a “Protected Deposit”, subject to these Terms. Protected Deposits must be used within 2 years of cancellation date and may be applied towards payment of a deposit on another Qualifying Holiday. The Protected Deposit is not transferable and may only be used by you. Not all Just You holidays are included in the Protected Deposit offer. “Qualifying Holidays” means all Just You holidays with the exception of Global Explorer, Antarctic cruises and Festive holidays and any other holidays as specified by Just You. For the avoidance of doubt, only the deposit amount will form part of the Protected Deposit. The Protected Deposit has no cash value. Only one Protected Deposit may be applied per person toward a Qualifying Holiday. A Protected Deposit must be applied to a new Qualifying Holiday booking that is of equal or greater value to the cancelled Qualifying Holiday for which the Protected Deposit was originally received. A Protected Deposit may not be applied to the same or similar dates of travel.
FREE AIRPORT LOUNGE Book a Just You Flight-Inclusive Worldwide holiday and, subject to availability, we will arrange free airport lounge access at the start of your holiday at your mainland UK departure airport. The location of the lounge will be as determined by our supplier at your UK departure airport. Access to the lounge cannot be guaranteed in peak season and use of the lounge will be in accordance with the terms and conditions of the service provider.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION BEFORE YOU BOOK We do hope that your Just You holiday will meet your expectations so it is very important that you choose the holiday that is right for you. Our Holiday Advisors are happy to share their knowledge; however, please also conduct your own independent research to ensure that you are happy with the arrangements made and are familiar with the upto-date travel advice in the destination(s) you will be going to. Please visit the Foreign & Commonwealth Office website at www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice or www.gov.uk/travelaware. Packed with essential travel advice and tips, these websites offer a wealth of country specific information including the latest on security, local laws, passport and visa requirements. Keep informed on current travel health news by visiting www.travelhealthpro.org.uk. The advice can change so please check regularly for updates.
AFTER MAKING YOUR BOOKING Please read your confirmation invoice carefully and let us know immediately if there are any corrections required. If you have not received a confirmation invoice within 7 days of booking your holiday please contact us immediately. The balance payment for your holiday must be paid no later than 12 weeks before departure (4 weeks before departure for Just You UK City Breaks and Just You UK Christmas Market breaks). The payment deadline will be clearly marked on your confirmation invoice along with details of how to pay on line: www. justyou.co.uk/payments. Prior to departure we will send you further information to help you prepare for your trip. If you have any queries you can ether email us at enquiries@justyou.co.uk or you can call our Customer Services Department 01858 415 258.

those included in your package holiday price are to be made directly to your hotel prior to check out. Air Conditioning: In some hotels, air conditioning is operated according to individual hotel policy and/or, in some cases, local laws.
EXCURSIONS We want to give you the opportunity to see as much as possible of the countries you are visiting so there will nearly always be a selection of optional excursions. Where a pre-bookable package is available as indicated in the holiday details, this is offered at a discounted price. Alternatively you can book & pay your Tour Manager or Local Guide in resort, where applicable. Any optional excursions will of course operate subject to demand, traffic and weather conditions. Changes to the advertised excursions programmes are rare but the excursion providers reserve the right to change excursions and we reserve the right to amend the advertised prices at any time. We advise against the purchase of excursions from hotels or street vendors as these may not have been safety checked and may not meet required local standards or have adequate insurance cover in place. A list of approved excursions will be sent to you, in some cases these may include hotel excursions which have been checked. If you choose to partake in an excursion/activity which is not arranged by us, we advise you check that your travel insurance covers you for that specific activity.
MAKE YOUR OWN WAY HOLIDAYS
On the majority of our Flight-Inclusive package holidays you will be escorted by a knowledgeable Tour Manager. Please be aware of the following: • On some of our Flight-Inclusive package holidays your Tour Manager will meet you at your UK airport, on others they will meet you at your overseas airport or in your resort. • If you choose to fly to your destination from a regional airport your Tour Manager may not be travelling with you. • Your Tour Manager may not accompany you on your homeward transfer to the airport but they will advise you of the arrangements made on a FlightInclusive holiday.
When you choose a Make Your Own Way (MYOW) holiday you will be responsible for making your own way to the first hotel on the Tour and your Tour will end at the final hotel in accordance with the timings set out in the Tour itinerary. We will not be responsible for any services you do not book with us and your flights or transfers to/from the first and last hotels included in the Tour. If you do not have flights arranged by us included in your holiday your booking will not be ATOL protected by Just You (G Touring Limited). Please make sure that you have read and understood the applicable parts of the Booking Conditions with regards to Financial Protection for holidays not including flights as only the arrangements booked through Just You will be financially protected by our financial failure insurance. We will not be responsible for expenses you incur or unused services in the event that your flights are cancelled or delayed, and this impacts your ability to join or participate in the Tour. Your flight organiser or airline should provide information on financial failure protection and repatriation as it relates to your flight arrangements. If they do not provide you with this, please also see www.caa. co.uk/passengers for information on passenger rights.
COACHES/COACH SEAT ALLOCATION
COMBINING TOURS
On our package holidays that include coach travel, we operate a rotational seating policy. All customers are expected to abide by this policy and adhere to the instructions given by the Tour Manager to ensure that all customers are given the opportunity to move seats. We do believe seat rotation will enhance your travelling experience and create a positive group atmosphere. Regular comfort stops will be taken to ensure a relaxing journey is experienced each day. Some coaches may be equipped with washroom facilities however, it cannot be guaranteed that they will be useable at all times.
Some of our holidays are designed so that customers can tailor their holiday experience by combining different Tour departures and itineraries. Please be aware that other customers may join or leave your Tour at different times depending on the combination of Tours that they have selected, so the size of the Tour group may vary throughout the Tour.
YOUR TOUR MANAGER
RUNNING ORDER OF ITINERARIES Occasionally we may have to make changes to the running order and inclusions of your holiday itinerary. This could be due to a number of reasons such as public holidays, festivals, weather, traffic conditions or operational reasons and may sometimes be at short notice. Due to changes in river water levels, river cruise itineraries may occasionally be modified. On the rare occasions that this happens we will act in the best interests of our customers to ensure the enjoyment of your holiday is not impaired.
HOTEL ACCOMMODATION The prices in our brochure/website are based on sole occupancy of a room with private facilities unless otherwise stated. Our reference to ‘Hotel’ covers all accommodation and does not necessarily distinguish between local classifications such as ‘Motel’ or ‘Inn’. It may occasionally be necessary to accommodate you in a different but equal category of hotel to that featured in the brochure/ website. If this is known before departure, we will of course advise you. The confirmed hotel(s) will be advised in your final travel information. Porterage: One bag per person is included on most of our package holidays as stated in the holiday details. Voltage/Electrical Items: The type of plug sockets you can use in your destination can be checked by visiting: www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugvoltage-by-country/ Swimming Pools: If your hotel/s has a swimming pool, you may wish to take your own pool towel, as some hotels do not provide these. Please familiarise yourself with the depth of the pool and use the steps provided to access and exit the pool. Diving is not recommended. Additional Charges: Payment for any extras such as drinks, laundry, telephone calls and meals other than
ABOUT OUR FLIGHTS FOR JUST YOU FLIGHT INCLUSIVE TOURS The prices for the Flight-Inclusive Tours set out in our brochures/website are based on planned group flights from London. The actual selling price may vary from that published due to numerous factors including but not limited to; additional taxes or fuel surcharges being introduced, the airline only allowing us to hold a limited number of seats at a pre agreed group rate or because alternative flights are being used. Limited availability seats: Holiday prices are based on limited availability special air fares. Whilst these fares are correct at the time of going to press they may have sold out by the time you make a booking. In this case further seats will usually be available at a supplement. Such supplements if any will be confirmed at the time of booking. By booking early you maximise your chances of getting on our group flights which ensures you are getting the benefit of our group costs and also reduces the chance of you ever having to pay any flight related supplements or additional costs. Baggage Handling and Allowance: The baggage allowance for most of our holidays is 44lb (20kg) per person, plus hand luggage, although this varies with each airline. Airlines do change their requirements therefore, we suggest that you check the airlines website for details on any restrictions or dimensions of hand and hold baggage. You are responsible for the carriage and care of your luggage throughout your holiday except for such times as it may be in the hands of the airline, here in such circumstances the airline specific terms and conditions relating to the carriage of luggage apply or when porterage at a hotel on arrival and departure is included. Please ensure that your luggage is loaded on to all transport and be careful to take the correct luggage with you when you leave any mode of transport. Airport Taxes: Any airport taxes and security charges which are payable in advance and therefore form part of the scheduled air ticket have been calculated and included in the price of your holiday. These include the UK Government
Airline Passenger Duty and various overseas airport and airline charges where applicable. At some airports there are also passenger charges which are payable locally. Where possible these will be paid by us on your behalf and included on your confirmation invoice. Some taxes have to be paid locally and we will advise you as soon as we are aware of such charges. Fuel Surcharges/Environmental Taxes: Airlines generally pass on any fuel price increases to customers directly or tour operators when they occur. Occasionally we have no choice but to pass on all or part of these directly to our customers. You will be informed of any fuel related surcharges or new and additional taxes, airport or security charges in place or other sums payable in addition to the advertised price at the time of booking. Flight Routings: On some routes we use a number of indirect flights which may require you to change planes en-route. This may be because we cannot obtain a block allocation of seats on a direct flight or it may be the only option. If you are interested in booking a direct flight with a supplement (where available) please ask one of our Holiday Advisors. Flight Schedule Changes: When you book one of our Flight-Inclusive Tours, your holiday confirmation will contain provisional flight details. We aim to make this as accurate as possible from the start, however, the timings or the flight numbers can change before departure. We will monitor all changes and inform you as soon as possible if there is a change which affects your departure by a considerable time or moves the tour to a different day or significantly affects the tour itinerary. Final timings will be sent about ten days before you travel. If we notify you of a significant change to your holiday and you do not accept the change you must tell us within 14 days of us advising you of the significant change to your holiday. Details of what constitutes a major or minor change is contained within Booking Conditions. Airlines and Aircraft: All prices in our brochures/ on the website are based on air travel in economy class. Passenger travel on scheduled airlines is provided under the conditions of the airline. For a copy of these terms and conditions please go to the appropriate airline’s website. Change of Airline: Due to the ever changing nature of the airline business, airlines selected and used for our tours can change after your booking is made, as can flight schedules and timings. This can be for a number of reasons such as the airline withdrawing the flight or operating with smaller aircraft than first planned. Where this is the case we will endeavour to find an alternative with the same carrier or similar flights with another carrier. Flight Meals and Medical Equipment Requests: Although meals are provided on most long haul flights you should be aware that most airlines do not provide complimentary food on shorter flights within Europe. We therefore cannot guarantee that meals will be provided on all flights. Please note, we also cannot guarantee that the airline will be able to fulfil your request for a special dietary meal and any such requests are not a condition of booking. If you require a special dietary meal due to an allergy such as a nut allergy, and the airline provides complimentary meals, we will need you to fill in a medical questionnaire to send to the service provider. The airline will not be able to guarantee that their aircraft meals are 100% nut free and will require you to carry any special medication (such as an EpiPen) in your hand luggage. If you need to carry a CPAP machine or oxygen cylinders please let us know at the time of booking so we can ensure this request is sent through to the relevant airline. It can take up to 6 weeks for airlines to confirm whether medical requests can be accommodated. Flight Seat Requests: We strongly recommend (particularly if you are flying economy class) that you check in early if you have particular seat requests. Just You has no control over the allocation of seats by the airline. Even if a request has been made to pre-book seats, no guarantee can be made that they will be available on departure. The provision of particular seats does not constitute a term of your contract with us. Please note, suppliers operate older and more modern aircraft within their fleets and we cannot guarantee which type you will travel on as this may be subject to change and general availability. Although some airline companies offer the ability to book seats on line this may not be the case when booking a holiday through us, as we offer holidays based on special tour operator fares and booking conditions. If this is particularly important to you then please ask about our upgrade options.
HOLIDAYS BY RAIL Where your holiday includes rail travel, Standard Class fares are included unless otherwise stated. Please note: we are unable to provide porterage at stations and you will be required to handle your own luggage. You can choose to upgrade your seats on Eurostar to Standard Class Premier. This upgrade also includes first-class tickets for the remainder of your journey aboard local trains, where applicable.

Please note: Additional charges will apply for accommodation and changes to your flight may also incur extra charges. Please ensure your travel insurance covers you for the whole duration of your holiday, including any add-ons.
SMOKING E-cigarettes: Since their introduction, a number of countries have banned or limited the use of e-cigarettes. We recommend you visit this website, which is an information forum for further information: www.ecigarette-politics.com/ electronic-cigarettes-global-legal-status.
BOOKING ADDITIONAL EXTRAS FOR YOUR HOLIDAY It is advisable to leave booking travel arrangements to your UK departure point until you have received your final travel documents as timings can change. We can book non-flight arrangements for you and offer the option of cancellation/amendment insurance. Please speak to our Holiday Advisors for more information.
WELFARE, HEALTH & SAFETY Walking on Tour: We are happy to give you more detailed information to enable you to choose the right holiday for your individual needs. Our tours can have a comprehensive sightseeing element, visiting places with cobbled streets, inclines and including medium to long walking distances. This can make navigating these streets or keeping up with the group difficult for anyone with reduced mobility, especially in warm climates. It is important to be aware of the amount of walking involved and the degree of fitness and mobility required to take part in these sightseeing visits or excursions. Tours described as ‘Active’ are not suitable for anyone with any limited or mobility issues. If you would like further information to allow you to make a more informed choice please speak to one of our Holiday Advisors. Altitude: on certain tours you will travel to places at high altitude. If you suffer from heart or respiratory conditions or have any other concerns please consult your doctor. Prescribed Medication: Carry all prescribed medication in your hand luggage. Safety: Although we take every precaution to look after you on tour the responsibility for your personal safety and welfare and the care of your possessions is obviously the same as that which you would exercise whilst at home. It is advisable to avoid carrying your passports/extra cash/ credit cards etc. during day to day activities unless required. Whenever possible leave valuables in your hotel safe. Extra care should be taken when walking around cities, especially at night and we recommend that you stay in well lit, populated areas. It is also wise to avoid carrying valuables or wearing expensive jewellery. Please review the Foreign and Commonwealth Office advice on safety and security for your destination: www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice. The Tour Manager/ Guide will be on hand to provide any local notifications. For further information on staying safe overseas, please visit: www.travelhealthpro.org.uk/personal-safety/
PASSPORT INFORMATION Passport information: You must ensure that you have a valid passport. All costs incurred in obtaining such documentation must be paid by you. Some countries don’t allow you to enter with certain country stamps. For further information please visit www.fco.gov.uk. If you are not currently in possession of a valid passport please make sure you leave plenty of time before your holiday to apply for this document. Our recommendation is that you should apply for one at least three months before your holiday. The UK Passport Service has to confirm your identity before issuing your first passport and will ask you to attend an interview in order to do this. For further information visit www.fco.gov.uk. Check the date that your passport expires. When travelling to the EU after 29th March 2019, the UK Government recommends that you have 6 months left on your passport on the date of your arrival to an EU country. You should also check when your passport was renewed. If you renewed a 10 year adult passport before it expired, extra months may have been added to your passport’s expiry date. These extra months over 10 years will not count towards the 6 months that must be remaining. The UK Government has published a website tool to check the validity of your passport under these new rules www.passport.service.gov.uk/ check-a-passport. Note: In many countries, it is now a legal requirement to show some form of identification if requested by the police or authorities, therefore, it is advisable to carry a photocopy of the data page of your passport when out and about.

PUBLIC HOLIDAYS Experiencing a public holiday in your chosen destination can really enhance your holiday experience, especially if there are local festivals or celebrations. Virtually all countries have public holidays, religious or otherwise. The festivities may temporarily disrupt your package holiday and some religious holidays such as Ramadan, which is observed in many Muslim countries, may result in a reduction of facilities, services and entertainment. We suggest that you take this into consideration when selecting your departure date. To discover the national holidays in your destination, please visit: www.timeanddate.com/holidays/
CURRENCY To get the latest exchange rates and currency information, please visit www.xe.com. Cash and cheques can be exchanged at most hotels. Banks and exchange offices will also be able to exchange money for you. Major credit cards are usually accepted in hotels, larger shops and restaurants. We would recommend that you inform your bank/card company of your forthcoming holiday. It is advisable to take more than one means of payment (cash, credit card etc.) and to have some form of payment for emergencies or unexpected delays.
SHOPPING Our tours will sometimes incorporate local shops, markets and factory shops which sell a range of goods. Please make sure you have a clear understanding of any price you agree with vendors as well as the conversion rate being used, prior to purchasing items. If you are arranging the delivery of an item to your home address, please be mindful of shipping costs and customs taxes.
CLIMATE & CLOTHING Temperatures can vary greatly depending on altitude, time of year and the region you are visiting. If specific clothing or footwear is required this will be detailed in your final itinerary. We recommend checking the weather forecast prior to travel. We advise against taking travel electrical equipment such as kettles or irons as many hotels do not allow their usage and they can be a fire hazard.
TIME ZONES You can find the time zone for the country you are visiting here: www.timeanddate.com/time/map/

BROCHURE/WEBSITE DETAILS We have taken great care to ensure that the details in the brochure/website are correct at the time of their publication.

BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS These Booking Terms and Conditions, together with our Privacy Policy and, where your holiday is booked via our website, our website terms and conditions of use, together with any other written information we brought to your attention before we confirmed your booking, form the basis of your contract with G Touring Limited trading as Just You, whose registered office is at Compass House, Rockingham Road, Market Harborough, England, LE16 7QD, Company No: 04956006. Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. In these Booking Conditions references to “you” and “your” include the first named person on the booking and all persons on whose behalf a booking is made or any other person to whom a booking is added or transferred. By making a booking you agree that: a. you have read and understood these terms and conditions and has the authority to and does agree to be bound by them; b. y ou are over 18 years of age and where placing an order for services with age restrictions declares that you are of the appropriate age to purchase those services; c. you consent to our use of information in accordance with our Privacy Policy (https://www.justyou.com/ en-ca/l/privacy-policy/) and you are authorised on behalf of all participants in your party to disclose their personal details to us, including where applicable, special categories of data (such as information on health conditions or disabilities and dietary requirements).; d. y ou accept financial responsibility for payment of the booking on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking.
1. BOOKING AND PAYING FOR YOUR ARRANGEMENTS A booking is made with us when you pay us a deposit (or full payment if you are booking within 84 days of departure) and we issue you with a booking confirmation. We reserve the right to return your payment and decline to issue a confirmation at our absolute discretion. A binding contract will come into existence between you and us as soon as we have issued you with a booking confirmation. If your confirmed arrangements include a flight, we (or if you booked via an authorised agent of ours, that agent) will also issue you with an ATOL Certificate. Upon receipt, if you believe that any details on the ATOL Certificate or booking confirmation or any other document are wrong you must advise us immediately as changes cannot be made later and it may harm your rights if we are not notified of any inaccuracies in any document within ten days of our sending it out (five days for tickets). If your confirmed arrangements booked through Just You do not include a flight, we provide financial security for holiday arrangements booked through us by way of a financial failure insurance policy. You will be given full details of the insurer with your confirmation invoice or, alternatively, please go to www.justyou.co.uk/en-gb/l/ financial-protection-insurance. The balance of the cost of your arrangements (including any applicable surcharge) is due not less than 84 days prior to scheduled departure (or by such other date as is notified to you at the time of booking). If we do not receive this balance in full and on time, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled by you in which case the cancellation charges set out in clause 8 below will become payable. Any money paid to an authorised agent of ours in respect of a booking covered by our ATOL is held by that agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust at all times, but subject to the agent’s obligation to pay it to us for so long as we do not fail financially. If we do fail financially, any money held at that time by the agent or subsequently accepted from the consumer by the agent, is and continues to be held by that agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation to pay that money to us. Special Sales: If there are services that you request from us in addition to one of our packages (such as an extension to your holiday, a connecting flight, or additional services) these will be put on request by our Sales Team and are subject to availability and confirmation of the price. Our team will advise you of this, take the appropriate deposit and send you a holding letter together with an ATOL Certificate. Once the additional service is confirmed we will advise you and if your international flight details have changed, send a revised ATOL Certificate to you. Please note: Flights with ‘No Frills’ airlines – where you ask us to book flights for you with a ‘No Frills’ airline, we may ask you to pay the full airfare and any associated charges at the point of booking, in addition to the normal deposit payable on the holiday. Booking on behalf of others: By booking on behalf of other participants, you are deemed to be the designated contact person for every participant included on that booking. This means that you are responsible for making all payments due in connection with your booking, notifying us or our authorized agent if any changes or cancellations are required and keeping your party informed. By booking on behalf of another person or persons, you represent and warrant that you have obtained all required consents. You are responsible for verifying that any information you provide on behalf of another participant is complete and accurate and we will under no circumstances be liable for any errors or omissions in the information provided to complete a booking.
2. ACCURACY
We endeavour to ensure that all the information and prices both on our website and in any advertising material that we publish are accurate, however, occasionally changes and errors occur and we reserve the right to correct prices and other details in such circumstances. You must check the current price and all other details relating to the arrangements that you wish to book before your booking is confirmed. On very rare occasions, we may unfortunately make a genuine mistake in the price we quote and subsequently confirm to you for your holiday. This may come to light at any time prior to your holiday. We are not obliged to honour the original price if a mistake has been made when pricing your holiday. We will ask you to meet any additional costs if you wish to go ahead with the holiday. However, should you not wish to meet these additional charges, you may cancel your holiday with a full refund.
3. INSURANCE We consider adequate travel insurance to be essential, especially for holidays outside the UK. It is therefore a condition of booking that you are adequately insured when travelling abroad. We recommend excellent comprehensive insurance policies through our partner Holiday Extras please go to www.justyou.co.uk/ insurance. We will require you to give us details of your travel insurance company including the policy number, although we will not check your policy for suitability. If you purchase an alternative policy, you must ensure that it offers cover which is at least as comprehensive as the policy we recommend and, which as a minimum, covers cancellation for the total value of the holiday, delay or curtailment, medical charges and repatriation costs for not less than £5million. Your travel insurance should cover you for any pre-existing medical conditions. Please read your policy details carefully and take them with you on holiday. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is adequate for your particular needs including cover for any optional excursions / activities that you may have booked. You shall be responsible for indemnifying us in full in respect of any costs that we incur as a result of your failure to have adequate, appropriate and comprehensive travel insurance. We will decline any booking where adequate insurance has not been arranged.
4. PRICING We guarantee that absolutely no surcharge will be added to the basic price of your holiday once your booking has been confirmed and you have paid in full irrespective of any subsequent fluctuation in currency exchange rates or increases in international air fares or other costs associated with the holiday. This price guarantee does not apply to any optional services including, but not limited to, insurance premiums, visa charges and amendment fees. Should you see your holiday departure date advertised by us, on a like by like basis, for less than you paid we will refund the difference between the price you paid and the new price. This refund will be in the form of a voucher towards a new booking. This price promise excludes bookings for holidays departing within 12 weeks of booking which are classed as late bookings. Before you have confirmed your booking and paid in full, we reserve the right to amend the price of unsold holidays at any time and correct errors in the prices of confirmed holidays. Should the price of your holiday go down solely due to: (i) The price of the carriage of passengers resulting from the cost of fuel or other power sources; (ii) T he level of taxes or fees applicable to the holiday imposed by third parties not directly involved in the performance of the holiday, including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports; or (iii) The exchange rates relevant to the package then any refund due will be paid to you less an administrative fee of GBP£50 or EUR€50, based on the currency of your booking. However please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual and other protection in place. There will be no change made to the price of your confirmed holiday within 20 days of your departure nor will refunds be paid during this period.
BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS arrangements after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you must inform us in writing as soon as possible. Whilst we will do our best to assist, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet your requested change. Where we can meet a request, all changes will be subject to payment of an administration fee of £50 per person per change as well as any applicable rate changes or extra costs incurred as well as any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers. You should be aware that these costs could increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made and you should contact us as soon as possible. Where we are unable to assist you and you do not wish to proceed with the original booking we will treat this as a cancellation by you. A cancellation fee may be payable. If you are prevented from travelling it may be possible to transfer your booking to another suitable person provided that written notice is given. An administration fee will be charged, details available upon request. Transfer of Booking: If you are prevented from travelling, you may transfer your place to someone else (introduced by you and satisfying all the conditions applicable to the arrangements) provided: a) you contact us as soon as possible and provide us with the name of the replacement passenger and who they will be replacing from the original booking. We can only transfer customers up to 14 days before departure, subject to availability; b) you pay an amendment fee of £50 per person transferring, meet all costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers; and c) the transferee agrees to these Booking Conditions and all other terms of the contract between us. If there are any payments outstanding for the applicable booking when the transfer is requested these must also be paid before the transfer can be made. Any replacement passengers must show us evidence of their holiday insurance prior to the transfer being completed. You and the transferee remain jointly and severally liable for payment of all sums. If you are unable to find a replacement, cancellation charges as set out herein will apply in order to cover our estimated costs. Otherwise, no refunds will be given for passengers not travelling or for unused services. Note: Certain arrangements may not be amended or transferred after they have been confirmed and any alteration could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements.
8. IF YOU CANCEL BEFORE DEPARTURE If you decide to cancel your confirmed booking you must notify us (or your travel agent) in writing, as soon as possible. To notify us please send an email to CustomerCancellations@justyou.co.uk or write to us. Any notification by telephone should be to our Service Centre on 01858 415335 and must be followed up in writing or by email, within 24 hours by the lead name to confirm the cancellation. Your notice of cancellation will only take effect from the date on which we receive it. If the call to notify us of cancellation is from anyone other than the lead name then the lead name must confirm the cancellation in writing or by email within 3 days of the initial call. If you need to cancel your booking within 24 hours of departure please call our 24 hour Holiday Helpline on the number given in your holiday documents. If verbal notification is within 5 days of departure we reserve the right to cancel the booking after 24 hours. Since we incur costs in cancelling your arrangements, you will have to pay the applicable cancellation charges up to the maximum shown below. The cancellation charge detailed is calculated on the basis of the total cost payable by the person(s) cancelling excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges which are not refundable in the event of the person(s) to whom they apply cancelling: Cancellation charges for all Just You holidays except Just You UK City and Just You UK Christmas Market breaks Number of Days’ Cancellation charge Notice Before (% of holiday price): Departure More than 75 days Loss of deposit only before departure 43 - 74 days 50% of tour price 29 - 42 days

6. CUTTING YOUR HOLIDAY SHORT If you are forced to return home early, we cannot refund the cost of any travel arrangements you have not used. If you cut short your holiday and return home early in circumstances where you have no reasonable cause for complaint about the standard of accommodation and services provided, we will not offer you any refund for that part of your holiday not completed, or be liable for any associated costs you may incur. Depending on the circumstances, your travel insurance may offer cover for curtailment and we suggest that any claim is made directly with them.

Note: Certain arrangements (such as ‘No Frills’ flight bookings) may not be amended after they have been confirmed and any alteration or cancellation could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements, in addition to the charge above. Where any cancellation reduces the number of full paying party members below the number which
TO BOOK CALL 01858 415 396 VISIT JUSTYOU.CO.UK
the price and/or any concessions agreed for your booking were based, we will recalculate these items and re-invoice you accordingly. If the reason for your cancellation is covered under the terms of your insurance policy, you may be able to reclaim these charges. We will deduct the cancellation charge(s) from any monies you have already paid to us. The cancellation charges above have been calculated as a genuine pre-estimate of the losses we would incur in the event you cancelled your holiday within the stipulated time period, taking into account the charges we will incur from our suppliers (some of which will be up to 100%) and the expected cost savings and income from alternative deployment of the travel services (if possible) calculated as an average charge over a period of time. Protected Deposits: If you cancel your booking of a Qualifying Holiday (as defined below) greater than 84 days prior to departure, and that cancellation is not a result of non-payment or any other breach of these Terms, the deposit amount will be held with us as a “Protected Deposit”, subject to these Terms. Protected Deposits must be used within 2 years of your cancellation date and may be applied towards payment of a deposit on another Qualifying Holiday. The Protected Deposit is not transferable and may only be used by you. Not all Just You holidays are included in the Protected Deposit offer. “Qualifying Holidays” means all Just You holidays with the exception of Global Explorer, Antarctic cruises, Festive holidays and any other holidays as specified by Just You. For the avoidance of doubt, only the deposit amount will form part of the Protected Deposit. The Protected Deposit has no cash value. Only one Protected Deposit may be applied per person toward a Qualifying Holiday. A Protected Deposit must be applied to a new Qualifying Holiday booking that is of equal or greater value to the cancelled Qualifying Holiday for which the Protected Deposit was originally received. A Protected Deposit may not be applied to the same or similar dates of travel. Cancellation by You due to Unavoidable & Extraordinary Circumstances: You have the right to cancel your confirmed holiday before departure without paying a cancellation charge in the event of “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” occurring at your holiday destination or its immediate vicinity and significantly affecting the performance of the holiday or significantly affecting the transport arrangements to the destination. In these circumstances, we shall provide you with a full refund of the monies you have paid but will not be liable to pay you any additional compensation. Please note that your right to cancel in these circumstances will only apply where the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has changed its advice to warn against travel to your destination or its immediate vicinity after the date of your booking. For the purposes of this clause, “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” means warfare, acts of terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination.
9. IF WE CHANGE OR CANCEL As we plan your holiday arrangements many months in advance we may occasionally have to make changes or cancel your booking and we reserve the right to do so at any time. Changes: If we make an insignificant change to your holiday, we will make reasonable efforts to inform you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure but we will have no liability to you for failing to inform you or your travel agent. Examples of insignificant changes include alteration of your outward/return flights by less than 12 hours, changes to aircraft type, change of accommodation to another of the same or higher standard, changes of carriers. Please note that carriers such as airlines used in our advertising material may be subject to change. Occasionally we may have to make a significant change to your confirmed arrangements. Examples of “significant changes” include the following, when made before departure: - A change of accommodation area for the whole or a significant part of your time away, provided that the new area is more than 15 miles away from the original. - A change of cabin accommodation to a significantly lesser grade. Where you are taking a tour, a significant change to the itinerary. i.e. when the itinerary has to be changed by more than 50% and may have to exclude an iconic highlight. - A change of accommodation to that of a lower standard or classification for the whole or a significant part of your time away. - A change of outward departure time or overall length of your arrangements of twelve or more hours. - A significant change to your itinerary, missing out one or more destination entirely. - A change of UK airport from the one you were due to fly to or from, except where the change is between London airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, London City or Luton) or where the new airport is within 50 miles of the original airport. Please note: We do not classify a change of air or sea port as a significant change where coach transfers between a UK town and the relevant air/sea port are included in the holiday. A change of flight from direct to indirect is not classified as a significant change. Cancellation: We will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 75 days before your departure date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by

you to pay the final balance. We may cancel your holiday before this date, (if your holiday departure date is not specifically guaranteed in the brochure in which it was advertised) for example, if the minimum number of customers required for a particular travel arrangement is not reached. If we have to make a major change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible and if there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of: i. (for significant changes) accepting the changed arrangements; ii. having a refund of all monies paid; iii. accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable or higher standard if available (at no extra cost); or iv. If available, accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements of a lower or comparable standard from us (we will refund any price difference between the original arrangements and the alternative arrangements if the alternative arrangements are of a lower value). You must notify us of your choice within 7 days of our offer. If we do not hear from you within 7 days, we will contact you again to request notification of your choice. If you fail to respond again within 3 days we will assume that you have chosen to accept the change or alternative booking arrangements. Once a Tour has departed, itinerary changes may be necessary as a result of unforeseen circumstances, operational concerns, or concerns for your health, safety, enjoyment or comfort. Any changes are at our discretion. You acknowledge that you must have reasonable financial resources to cover incidental expenses during all travel with us, whether or not such expenses arise from a change of itinerary, and we are not liable for your failure to prepare adequately for travel and unforeseen circumstances which may arise during travel. We will not be liable for any indirect and or consequential losses associated with any changes to a booking or itinerary. Compensation: If we cancel your booking or make a significant change less than 75 days before departure, in addition to a full refund of all monies paid by you, we will pay you reasonable compensation as detailed below.
by authorities, political disturbance, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination or remain at the travel destination, the act of any government or other national or local authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, lock closure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster, unavoidable technical problems with transport, closure or congestion of ports, airports and airspace, changes of schedules by airlines and all similar events outside our or the supplier(s) concerned’s control. Brexit Implications: Please note that certain travel arrangements may be affected as a result of the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union. This could include an unavailability of certain flight routes, access to certain ports and airports and changes to the visa requirements of British citizens travelling to, within or through the EU. Please rest assured that this is something we will continue to monitor and will advise our customers as soon as possible if we become aware of any confirmed bookings that will be affected. However, since this is something which is completely unprecedented and outside our control, we would treat any such changes as Force Majeure, and whilst we will endeavour to provide suitable alternative arrangements or refunds where possible, we will not be liable to pay you any compensation.
11. SPECIAL REQUESTS Any special requests must be advised to us at the time of booking. You should then confirm your requests in writing. Whilst every effort will be made by us to try and arrange your reasonable special requests, we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled. The fact that a special request has been noted on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation or that it has been passed on to the supplier is not confirmation that the request will be met. Any special requests or requirements do not form part of these Terms or the contract between us and we are not liable for any failure to accommodate or fulfill such requests. We do not accept bookings that are conditional upon any special request being met.

If we become unable to provide a significant proportion of the arrangement that you have booked with us after you have departed, we will, if possible, make alternative arrangement for you at no extra charge and where those alternative arrangements are of a lower standard, provide you with an appropriate price reduction. Please note: where accommodation with a higher price than the original accommodation is offered by us and accepted by you, the difference in price will be deducted from any compensation payable. In no case will we pay compensation if accommodation is offered by us and accepted by you with a higher price than that originally booked in the same location where no additional payment is made by you. If we become unable to provide a significant proportion of the services that you have booked with us after you have departed, we will make alternative arrangements for you at no extra charge and, if appropriate in all the circumstances, will pay you reasonable compensation. Please note: should it become impossible to make alternative arrangements in the circumstances mentioned above, our legal obligation is to return you to the point of departure, where you commenced your booked arrangements with us, only. It will be your responsibility to arrange any onward transport from the point at which you commenced your booked arrangements with us and your home.
10. FORCE MAJEURE Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Terms, we will not be liable or pay you compensation if its contractual obligations to you are affected by “unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances” meaning any event beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.

This law applies to services provided in the UK and not those provided overseas. However, we believe in trying to make our holidays as accessible to as many people as possible. You must tell us before you book of any special needs you may have as result of any disability or medical condition, whether physical or mental health and we will do all we can to accommodate you. This includes making any reasonable adjustments to the holiday itself and/or to the booking process. You may be asked to complete a medical information form (the “Medical Form”) or produce a Doctors certificate / letter prior to travel. We will endeavour to respond within 5 working days of receipt of this documentation. If you wish to have this documentation returned please let us know as we only hold this information for your current holiday. This information will be treated confidentially and will only be used to check that you are likely to be sufficiently fit and able to undertake your chosen holiday, and that any special requirements are passed on to our suppliers. If you, or any member of your parties situation changes after you have booked (including where any medical condition or disability deteriorates or develops) you must let us know straight away. Travel with us may involve visiting remote or developing regions, where medical care may not be easily accessible and medical facilities may not meet the standards of those found in the UK. We and our suppliers make no representations and gives no warranties in relation to the availability or standard of medical facilities in those regions. Whilst we will endeavour to make any reasonable adjustments to the holiday itself, sometimes this may not be possible. Examples of where we may not be able to make a reasonable adjustment include: • Providing wheelchair access ramps to overseas hotels in remote locations; • Our staff pushing a customer in a wheelchair throughout the duration of the holiday;
We will assume, unless you inform us otherwise, that you are in a good state of health both physically and mentally, to participate in the holiday. If you do not tell us about any disability or medical condition which may affect your holiday arrangements and any resulting special needs, and we find ourselves in the position where you are at your UK departure point or on holiday and are unable to participate fully, then we reserve the right to: 1) Organise extra assistance or make any adjustments so you can continue with the holiday and pass on the costs of doing this to you. 2) A rrange your return to the UK, or to your home address if you haven’t left the UK and pass on the costs of doing this to you. We very much hope that all our customers will be completely open, honest and upfront with us so the above situation does not occur. However, we do reserve the right to take action in the interests of your health and safety and the health and safety of our staff and other customers should we need to. We can only accept your booking upon the clear understanding that we cannot be liable if you do not inform us of such a condition and an airline or cruise line refuses to accept you as a passenger.
13. COMPLAINTS We make every effort to ensure that your arrangements run smoothly but if you do have a problem during your holiday, please inform our Tour Manager or the relevant supplier immediately who will endeavour to put things right. If your complaint is not resolved locally, you must ask the Tour Manager or representative for a Holiday Report Form, which you must then complete in his or her presence. One copy will be given to you and the other copy sent to head office. You can also contact us on our 24 hour Duty Office number, the details of which will be provided in your booking documentation. If the problem cannot be resolved and you wish to complain further, you must send formal written notice of your complaint to us at Just You, Compass House, Rockingham Road, Market Harborough, United Kingdom, LE16 7QD or by e-mail to feedback@justyou. co.uk within 28 days of the end of your stay, giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. Please keep your letter concise and to the point. This will assist us to quickly identify your concerns and speed up our response to you. Failure to follow the procedure set out in this clause may affect ours and the applicable supplier’s ability to investigate your complaint, and this may affect your rights under this contract. Please note that we offer an Alternative Dispute Resolution service through our ABTA membership. Please see clause 14 for further details. You can also access the European Commission Online Dispute (ODR) Resolution platform at http://ec.europa. eu/consumers/odr/. This ODR platform is a means of registering your complaint with us; it will not determine how your complaint should be resolved.

W hether there might be any pre-existing medical conditions either physical or mental health that should be disclosed to your insurer (or to the insurer recommended by ourselves) and which could result in your insurance being invalidated.

It is your responsibility to check your health and fitness to travel with your own Doctor before travel and we would recommend that you seek this confirmation and send us this information. We will endeavour to assist with any special requirements that might be needed and can also advise against certain tours and excursions that might be challenging for a customer with particular medical issues.

15. OUR RESPONSIBILITIES (We will accept responsibility for the arrangements we agreed to provide or arrange for you as an ‘organiser’ under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018, as set out below and as such, we are responsible for the proper provision of all travel services included in your package, as set out in your confirmation invoice. Subject to these Booking Conditions, if we or our suppliers negligently perform or arrange those services and we do not remedy or resolve your complaint within a reasonable period of time, we will pay you reasonable compensation. The level of such compensation will be calculated taking into consideration all relevant factors such as but not limited to: following the complaints procedure as described in these conditions and the extent to which we or our employees’ or suppliers’ negligence affected the overall enjoyment of your holiday. Please note that it is your responsibility to show that we or our supplier(s) have been negligent if you wish to make a claim against us.
We will not be responsible or pay you compensation for any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense, cost or other claim of any description if it results from: (a) t he acts and/or omissions of the person affected; or (b) t he acts and/or omissions of a third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for and which were unavoidable and extraordinary; or (c) Force Majeure We limit the amount of compensation we may have to pay you if we are found liable under this clause as follows: (a) l oss of and/or damage to any luggage or personal possessions and money: the maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is an amount equivalent to the excess on your insurance policy which applies to this type of loss per person in total because you are required to have adequate insurance in place to cover any losses of this kind. (b) C laims not falling under (a) above and which don’t involve injury, illness or death: the maximum amount we will have to pay you in respect of these claims is up to three times the price paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total. This maximum amount will only be payable where everything has gone wrong and you or your party has not received any benefit at all from your booking.

You can ask for copies of these Conventions from us. In addition, you agree that the operating carrier or transport company’s own ‘Conditions of Carriage’ will apply to you on that journey. When arranging transportation for you, we rely on the terms and conditions contained within these international conventions and those ‘Conditions of Carriage’. You acknowledge that all of the terms and conditions contained in those ‘Conditions of Carriage’ form part of your contract with us, as well as with the transport company and that those ‘Conditions of Carriage’ shall be deemed to be included by reference into this contract. ii) In any circumstances in which a carrier is liable to you by virtue of the Denied Boarding Regulation 2004, any liability we may have to you under our contract with you, arising out of the same facts, is limited to the remedies provided under the Regulation as if (for this purpose only) we were a carrier. iii) W hen making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the transport provider or hotelier for the complaint or claim in question.

Where any payment is made, the person(s) receiving it (and their parent or guardian if under 18 years) must also assign to us or our insurers any rights they may have to pursue any third party and must provide us and our insurers with all assistance they may reasonably require. Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss or expense or other sum(s) of any description: (a) w hich on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to us accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you; or (b) r elate to any business.

Please note that the 3-night cap does not apply to persons with reduced mobility, pregnant women or unaccompanied minors, nor to persons needing specific medical assistance, provided that we have been notified of these particular needs in advance.

You acknowledge that the degree and nature of personal risk involved depends on the products or services booked and the location(s) in which a product or service operates. There may be an increased degree of risk participating in physical activities, travel to remote locations, carriage by watercraft, or other highrisk activities, or travel to countries with developing infrastructure. You agree that we are not responsible for providing information or guidance with respect of local customs, weather conditions, physical challenges or laws in effect in any locations where a Tour, product or service is operated. You acknowledge you have considered the potential risks, dangers and challenges and your own personal capabilities and needs, and you expressly assume the risks associated with travel under such conditions. You must at all times strictly comply with all applicable laws and regulations of all countries and regions. Should you fail to comply with the above or commit any illegal act when on tour or, if in our opinion (acting reasonably), your behaviour is causing or is likely to cause danger, distress or material annoyance to others, we may terminate your travel arrangements or any product or service immediately at your expense and without any liability on our part.

17. EXCURSIONS AND LOCAL ACTIVITIES Included Excursions: For all excursions that form part of the advertised arrangements that you have booked, your contract for the excursion will be with ourselves and we will take responsibility for that excursion in accordance with the remainder of these Booking Terms and Conditions. Optional Excursions: Aside from included excursions, optional excursions and activities may be available for you to purchase either before you depart the UK or during your holiday. Occasionally, these are offered for sale by our holiday advisors in the UK or our Tour Managers or representatives overseas. However, we have no involvement in any such excursions or activities which are not run, supervised or controlled in any way by us. Full responsibility for providing and operating the excursion or activity rests with the local operator / provider. Optional excursions or other activities that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are taking part in your trip are not part of your contracted arrangements with us. Where you make a booking of an optional excursion via us or our Tour Manager, we act solely as a booking agent for the local operator / provider of all such optional excursions and activities with whom you will have a contract. The local operator’s terms and conditions will apply. We are not responsible for the provision of any optional excursions or activities or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the local operator. We cannot accept any liability on any basis in relation to any optional excursions or activities which do not form part of your contracted arrangements with us. We do not however exclude liability for the negligence of ourselves or our employees resulting in your death or personal injury. A minimum number of people are needed for an optional excursion to operate. If that number is not achieved, the local operator may have to cancel it. If this happens, you will be offered a full refund of the money that you have paid. If the local operator has to cancel and you paid for the excursion overseas your Tour Manager will refund you overseas, on behalf of the local operator. If you pre-booked in the UK before the holiday, the refund will be processed by our head office in the UK, and will be sent to the lead passenger’s home address within 10 working days of your return date to the UK, on behalf of the local operator. If you want to cancel an optional excursion that you have booked, we on behalf of the local operator, are unable to refund the cost of the excursion once it has been paid for. Our Tour Managers are happy to suggest local places of interest to you. However, these are suggestions only and are not recommendations or endorsements and no liability is accepted for any issues that may arise.
18. FINANCIAL SECURITY We provide financial security for flight inclusive Packages and ATOL protected flights. We do this by way of a bond held in favour of the Civil Aviation Authority under ATOL number 11266. When you buy an ATOL protected flight or flight inclusive holiday from us you will receive an ATOL Certificate. This lists what is financially protected, where you can get information on what this means for you and who to contact if things go wrong. For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk. The price of our flight inclusive arrangements includes the amount of £2.50 per person as part of the ATOL Protection Contribution (APC) we pay to the CAA. This charge is included in our advertised prices. Not all holiday or travel services offered and sold by us will be protected by the ATOL Scheme. ATOL protection extends primarily to Customers who book and pay in the United Kingdom or the first leg of any flight or flights we arrange for you commences in the UK. We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate, will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with the services you have bought (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL Scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the nonprovision of the services, including any claim against us, the travel agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme. We provide financial security for holidays not including flights by way of a financial failure insurance policy. You will be given full details of the insurer with your confirmation invoice or, alternatively, please go to www. justyou.co.uk/financial-protection-insurance. If you book arrangements other than an ATOL protected flight or Package from us, your monies will not be financially protected. Please ask us for further details. For more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org.uk/ATOLCertificate or contact Civil Aviation Authority of CAA House, 45-59 Kingsway, London WC2B 6TE.
19. PASSPORT, VISA AND IMMIGRATION REQUIREMENTS AND HEALTH FORMALITIES We will provide you with standard information about the passport, visa, health and immigration requirements applicable to your itinerary, but it is your responsibility to confirm that this information is relevant to your individual circumstances. You must check requirements for your own specific circumstances with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates and your own doctor as applicable and you are responsible for ensuring that you meet the entry requirements for the destinations listed on your itinerary. Requirements do change, and you must check the up to date position in good time before departure so that you have the correct documentation and are adequately vaccinated. Information on heath is available from your GP surgery and from the National Travel Health Network and Centre https://www. travelhealthpro.org.uk. Most countries now require passports to be valid for at least 6 months after your return date. When travelling to the EU after the 29th March 2019, the UK Government recommends that you have 6 months left on your passport on the date of your arrival to an EU country. If your passport is in its final year, you should check with the Embassy of the country you are visiting. You should also check when your passport was renewed. If you renewed a 10 year adult passport before it expired, extra months may have been added to your passport’s expiry date. These extra months over 10 years will not count towards the 6 months that must be remaining. The UK Government has published a web site tool to check the validity of your passport under these rules. Please go to www.passport.service.gov.uk/check-a-passport. For further information contact the Passport Office on 0300 222 0000 or visit https://www.gov.uk/browse/ citizenship/passports. The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) allows any EU Citizen to access state medical care when they are travelling in another EU Country. In the event of a no deal Brexit, UK registered EHIC’s will no longer be valid We do not wish to mar the prospective enjoyment of your holiday. However, sadly we have to be mindful of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks. You should be aware of up to date travel information and up to date travel advice for your chosen destination; please review the Foreign Office web site for detailed information https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice. Up to date travel advice can also be obtained from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, visit https://www. gov.uk/travelaware. Non British passport holders, including other
EU nationals, should obtain up-to-date advice on passport and visa requirements from the Embassy, High Commission or Consulate of your destination or country(ies) through which you are travelling. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel or incur any other loss because you have not complied with any passport, visa, immigration requirements or health formalities. You agree to reimburse us in relation to any fines or other losses which we incur as a result of your failure to comply with any passport, visa, immigration requirements or health formalities.
20. CRUISES River and Ocean Cruise vessels enforce the highest standards of cleaning and sanitation in -order to prevent the spread of viruses and illness. If you experience any gastrointestinal symptoms whilst on board, you may be confined to your cabin until your symptoms are clear. This action is to protect all passengers on board and contain the spread of any virus. In most cases, prior to boarding, you will be asked by the cruise operator / carrier to complete a medical form confirming you are not ill or have not been ill prior to boarding the vessel. You must answer these questions truthfully. If you have experienced any gastrointestinal symptoms prior to boarding your vessel, we on behalf of the cruise operator / carrier reserve the right to ask passengers to produce medical evidence of fitness to travel this may include the submission of any required medical certificates. In the interests of passenger safety we reserve the right to refuse boarding at our discretion. In such circumstances passengers will not be entitled to claim compensation or a refund. In some ports, it may be necessary for the river or cruise vessel to anchor offshore rather than alongside. When this is the case, the cruise line will use a tender to take passengers ashore. A tender is a small vessel and may not be suitable for persons with Disabilities or reduced mobility or balance problems. It is important that passengers are able to use the tender safely. Passengers may be required to descend to a platform or pontoon and into the tender and passengers may need to navigate a gap between the platform and the tender. Depending on weather, tide and sea conditions, there may be some movement and passengers must be fit and mobile enough to access and disembark the tender.
assignment to us of the rights you have against the airline in relation to the claim that gives rise to that compensation payment. A delay or cancellation to your flight does not automatically entitle you to cancel any other arrangements even where those arrangements have been made in conjunction with your flight inclusive holiday. We cannot accept liability for any delay which is due to any of the reasons set out in clause 10 of these Booking Conditions (which includes the behaviour of any passenger(s) on any flight who, for example, fails to check in or board on time). The carrier(s), flight timings and types of aircraft shown in this brochure or on our website and detailed on your confirmation invoice are for guidance only and are subject to alteration and confirmation. We shall inform you of the identity of the actual carrier(s) as soon as we become aware of it. The latest flight timings will be shown on your tickets which will be despatched to you approximately two weeks before departure. You should check your tickets very carefully immediately on receipt to ensure you have the correct flight times. If flight times change after tickets have been dispatched we will contact you as soon as we can to let you know. Please note the existence of a “Community list” (available for inspection at https://ec.europa.eu/transport/modes/ air/safety/air-ban_en) detailing air carriers that are subject to an operating ban with the EU Community. Our advertising material is our responsibility, as your tour operator. It is not issued on behalf of, and does not commit the airlines mentioned herein or any airline whose services are used in the course of your travel arrangements.
24. ADVANCE PASSENGER INFORMATION A number of Governments are introducing new requirements for air carriers to provide personal information about all travellers on their aircraft to the Authorities before the aircraft leaves the UK. The data will be collected either at the airport when you check in or in some circumstances when, or after you make your booking. Accordingly, you are advised to allow extra time to check in for your flight. Where we collect this data, we will treat it in accordance with our privacy policy.
25. FOREIGN OFFICE ADVICE
If passengers have impaired mobility, or use a mobility aid such as a stick, then they must carefully consider their ability to embark the tender safely. Wheelchairs and mobility equipment will not be carried by the crew or Tour Manager and all passengers must be independently mobile enough to use the tenders. Ultimately, carriage by tender may be refused by the Captain of the river or cruise vessel or any of his officers if there is any doubt as to the safety of any passengers.
You are responsible for making yourself aware of Foreign Office advice in regard to the safety of the countries and areas in which you will be travelling and to make your decisions accordingly. As the advice can change we recommend that you keep up to date and check the situation closer to your departure date at https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice. Advice from the Foreign Office to avoid or leave a particular country may constitute Force Majeure (see clause 10).
