Financial Security and Payments

To provide protection for all money our customers send us, we operate a 'client trust account' which is overseen by independent trustees. This money is ring-fenced and in the unlikely event of the company failure, the money held in this account would be administered by the trustees and returned to the group organiser to be distributed to their group. Simply Groups do not have access to this money until the return of the tour except in exceptional pre-agreed circumstances, protecting fully your payments and ensuring we operate within the strict EU regulations.
