Tour Conditions

A non-refundable/non-transferable deposit is due within 7 days of making your booking to secure your place on the tour. This deposit confirms your reservation and constitutes acceptance of our full Terms and Conditions.

Please note that all tours are subject to reaching a minimum number of participants.

Home pick-up and return by private car is included within a designated radius. Surcharges will apply for addresses located outside this area — please contact our office to confirm if this applies to you.

All itineraries are subject to change due to occasional restrictions in opening times/days of attractions (e.g. churches, wineries), weather conditions, or other operational factors beyond our control. While we do our utmost to deliver the itinerary as planned, we cannot be held responsible for changes due to closures, delays, or unforeseen circumstances.

From time to time, and only when absolutely necessary, minor changes to the itinerary or pricing may be required prior to final payment. While your deposit guarantees your place on the tour, it does not lock in the final price if operational adjustments are needed. Should any changes arise, we will always communicate with you clearly and transparently, and we thank you for your understanding.

A valid passport is required for this journey.  Your passport must be valid for 6 months after your return to Australia.

We recommend sturdy waterproof shoes with good grip (hiking shoes, rather than sneakers), thick socks, a woollen beanie, thermal underclothes, gloves and sunglasses. Walking poles can be helpful to give you more confidence, if desired. Layering some light clothes is advisable, as you will often come in from the picturesque cold to warm spaces inside, so layering enables you to adjust to each environment for your optimal comfort. You will also be very comfortable when travelling as your modern touring coach is fitted with heaters and double glazed windows. Once you arrive at your hotel you will be greeted with a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
