Normandy Tour Organisation

Typical Tour Duration

A 5 night, 6 day tour is recommended (but not obligatory) to also allow time to visit selected war museums in Caen and Bayeux. The famous 1000 year old citadel Monastery of Le Mont St Michel and The Bayeux Tapestry may also be visited to provide a balance against the D-Day battlegrounds.

Accommodation

Accommodation must be pre-booked, and we make recommendations based upon the type of accommodation required; from luxury hotel through to comfortable bed and breakfast. All clients will be responsible for payment of their own hotel and meal charges direct to the provider. Where appropriate, one hotel is selected to minimise the inconvenience of changes of location.

Pick-up and Departure Points

We will collect from most hotels, railway stations or airports in the UK or France. We normally have to charge for this service, dependant upon the distance from the office, but usually at a discount from the daily rate. The size of the discount is determined by the length of the tour and its overall price.

Guarantees, deposits and the like

Perception Travel Co. Ltd fully complies with European Legislation by ensuring that all monies received prior to the commencement of a tour are placed within a Trust Account held at Lloyds Bank, Park Lane, London, England. No money can be released from this Account until the tour has been completed. A 25% deposit secures the tour dates, and the Booking Conditions are set out in full in the brochure and under "Booking Conditions" on this web site.

Insurance

Perception Travel Ltd is fully covered by insurance to meet its legal liabilities in connection with transport of passengers by road as paying clients. We specifically request that clients ensure they are covered by insurance for Medical Expenses, Personal Liability, Cancellation Charges, Baggage, Personal Effects and Money. We also require all travellers to have valid Passports and Visas, where appropriate, for Europe.
