Booking Conditions

1. Responsibility

The tour operator does not accept responsibility for death, injury or illness of customers on our holidays. The tour operator does not accept responsibility for the state of roads on our trips. All routes are followed at the rider’s own risk. Cyclists must ride and behave in a responsible fashion. Holidays are booked with the understanding that all riders are physically fit and do not have any medical condition which may make physical activity dangerous for them. Cyclists use any transportation provided by the tour operator at their own risk.

Helmets are now compulsory in Spain. We recommend their use, especially for children. For the sake of comfort and hygiene, cyclists are requested to bring their own helmets.

2. Insurance

Possession of holiday insurance is a booking condition. All travellers must take out an adequate insurance policy before beginning the trip. Proof of adequate insurance must be provided to be able to confirm the booking. This insurance should cover health and accident (if necessary), luggage loss or damage, departure delay or failure, trip cancellation.

Any insurance claims are the liability of the insurance company and not the tour operator.

3. Changes

Changes in group composition or length of trip must be notified in writing.

5. Modifications

The tour operator reserves the right to make changes in the itinerary. In the unlikely event of this happening, the customer will be informed as soon as possible. Any changes made will be of a minor nature. We do not have a minimum numbers policy, so once a booking is taken, we guarantee the trip will run.

6. Bicycles

Cyclists are responsible for the tour operator bicycles during their trip and any damage to or loss thereof. Cyclists are also responsible for minor repairs such as punctures. Those who bring their own bicycles are responsible for any damage to or loss of these machines. These bicycles should be serviced before the trip, and should carry sufficient spares.

The tour operator will supply bikes in good condition and of the right size for each cyclist.

7. Force majeure

The tour operator cannot accept responsibility for any loss or damage resulting from war or terrorist activities, weather conditions, fire, flood or drought, airport closures, rescheduling of means of transport, or any other eventuality which may delay or extend the holiday.

8. Customer care

The tour operator is committed to the maximum enjoyment of the customer. Any problems or complaints must be made immediately so they can be dealt with in situ. Customers will be asked to complete a customer satisfaction form when their holiday is over.

9. Entrance fees

No entrance fees to places of interest are included in the tour prices, unless the brochure indicates otherwise.

10. Transfers

Transfers are included in tour prices on the understanding that the customer arrives at the time and place previously agreed. If this is not the case, the customer will be liable for the cost of the transfer to the first night’s accommodation. Customers who opt for a tour extension at the beginning or end of the holiday (e.g. The Bilbao/Guggenheim tour extension) will be liable to organise their own taxi transport between the airport and the hotel.

If on any particular trip guests arrive on the same day but at different times, a common pick up time may be arranged for the party. The tour operator will endeavour to make the wait as short as possible.

13. Transport

The client is responsible for organising travel to Spain. In this way it is hoped that the customer will get the best deal possible. The tour operator will be glad to give advice to the customer on travel arrangements.

14. Accommodation

The tour operator monitors the standard of its accommodation very carefully and is very grateful for customer feedback. Customers are requested to fill in our survey at the end of each trip and to supply us with both positive and negative feedback if it is felt to be relevant. Any problems should be reported immediately with a view to solving them as quickly as possible

A twin room refers to a room for two people with two beds. A double room is a room for two people with one bed. All rooms have en suite bathrooms and are of a high standard. Accommodation is in hotels and locally graded accommodation.

Every attempt will be made to satisfy a client’s room preference. Clients who have requested a double room may on occasions be given a twin room if availability does not permit this.

On some occasions, clients travelling on the same trip may stay in different hotels. This depends on hotel availability. Every effort will be made to ensure that hotels are of a similar standard.

15. Prices

Prices include accommodation and continental style breakfast. Transfer to and from airports or ferry ports is included except in the case of the Way of St James tour where customers must take their own way to and from arrival and departure points. The customer is responsible for all other expenses incurred.

16. Discounts

All discounts are applicable over the trip price for one person in double share. Bike hire and the single supplement will be added after the discount has been deducted.

17. Seasonal variations

Prices are given for high, mid and low season. Those holidays that fall between two seasons will be charged proportionately. Final prices will be confirmed before booking.

18. Excursions

We do not provide excursions. The tour operator may organise excursions on your behalf. In this case, the contract is between the customer and the excursion supplier, and not with the tour operator. The tour operator can accept no liability for these excursions and cannot guarantee they will take place. Excursions will be subject to availability and to minimum customer numbers.
