Glen Coe & Loch NessToday we head over the Falls of Lora on the Connel Bridge and up the coast for a brief stop at Spean Bridge. Then we follow the Great Glen and route of the Caledonian Canal to Fort Augustus and the top of Loch Ness. Here you may wish to take a cruise on this famous loch, before you have time to explore the town and have lunch. In the afternoon, we head back towards Fort William and stop at the Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge and hopefully if clear, views of Ben Nevis. Then we head up through Glen Coe and over Rannoch Moor for a brief stop at Tyndrum before returning to the hotel.

Day at Leisure in ObanScotland’s seafood capital offers up a wealth of attractions such as the War and Peace Museum, the Chocolate Factory and Oban Distillery as well as local craft and gift boutiques and other well-known retail outlets which you will have time to enjoy to the full on your free day. Or you could catch the small ferry to the Isle of Kerrera, which is directly opposite your hotel, or if you are feeling fit, a walk up to McCaigs Tower or Pulpit Hill for outstanding views of the town and its harbour setting.

Inveraray & Loch FyneAfter breakfast, a short journey to the shores of Loch Fyne brings us to the traditional county town of Inveraray. The castle is the ancestral home of the Duke of Argyll, who founded the town in 1745 and is a very rewarding attraction to visit. Or you can visit Inveraray Jail in the centre of town, which was in use as a prison from 1820 to 1889 but is now a fascinating living museum. There is plenty of time to browse the many shops and cafes and enjoy the waterfront setting. After lunch we return to the hotel with time to relax or take a stroll along Oban seafront before dinner.

Oban is a great base for a Scottish holiday and we have included 3 iconic excursions to give you a truly memorable tour. First, the Jacobite Steam Train (also known as the Hogwarts Express!), which runs between Fort William and Mallaig is a joyous experience. Regarded as one of the world’s greatest rail journeys, you will pass through the finest scenery in the Highlands and over the Glenfinnan viaduct. You will have a day at leisure to explore the bustling port of Oban, or just relax at your hotel. Then we have an excursion to the picturesque town of Inveraray on the shores of Loch Fyne. You may wish to visit the castle, the famous Jail, or just browse the shops and cafes and enjoy the waterfront setting. Our final excursion is by coach and ferry to Mull, and then by second ferry to the sacred Isle of Iona. Famous for its medieval Abbey, the island is also reputed to be the burial place of 48 kings of Scotland, including Macbeth.

Glenfinnan Viaduct

Jacobite Steam Train (tickets included)We depart the hotel, after breakfast, for a leisurely drive along the shores of Loch Linnhe to Fort William. We board the famous ‘Jacobite’ Steam Train (regarded as one of the world’s greatest rail journeys) and follow in the footsteps of Harry Potter and the Hogwarts Express. This memorable journey takes us through Glenfinnan and over the famous 21-arch ‘Horseshoe’ viaduct to Mallaig. Mallaig is a small fishing port overlooking the Sound of Sleat, which separates the mainland from the Isle of Skye. There will be time for lunch and perhaps a visit to the Mallaig Heritage Centre which explains the building of the West Highland line, including a multimedia display, film show, lifeboat exhibition, model railway and gift shop. Note: Depending on date, the train journey may be Fort William to Mallaig, or Mallaig to Fort William.

Isles of Mull & Iona (tickets included)Today your coach boards the ferry to Mull, a crossing that affords views of both mainland and islands across the Firth of Lorne and Sound of Mull. As the ferry approaches the port of Craignure on Mull, you will see Lismore Lighthouse before slipping past Duart Castle, hanging precariously on the cliff tops. The coach will take you off the ferry and across Mull, with its rugged Hebridean scenery, to catch a second ferry to the sacred Isle of Iona, reputed to be the burial place of 48 kings of Scotland, including Macbeth. Here you will have time to explore, and you may wish to wander up to the famous medieval Abbey. For many centuries, Iona has been an island of special significance for all Christians. In AD 563, Columba and his followers arrived here from Ireland to spread the gospel in Scotland and the north of England.


Inveraray & Loch FyneAfter breakfast, a short journey to the shores of Loch Fyne brings us to the traditional county town of Inveraray. The castle is the ancestral home of the Duke of Argyll, who founded the town in 1745 and is a very rewarding attraction to visit. Or you can visit Inveraray Jail in the centre of town, which was in use as a prison from 1820 to 1889 but is now a fascinating living museum. There is plenty of time to browse the many shops and cafes and enjoy the waterfront setting. After lunch we return to the hotel with time to relax or take a stroll along Oban seafront before dinner.


This unique tour combines classic examples of Scottish cultural, industrial and landscape heritage. There is an included boat trip on the world’s only rotating boatlift; the Falkirk wheel is a wonder of ingenuity and engineering. Also included is a tour of the magnificent equine sculptures, the Kelpies. The next day we explore the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park and take an included cruise on the steam ship Sir Walter Scott on Loch Katrine. On the next day, your knowledgeable courier will guide you through the history and drama of Rannoch Moor and Glen Coe, before arriving in the busy port of Oban, gateway to the Isles. On the last day entry is included to the Royal Research Ship (RRS) Discovery, situated beside the new £80 million V&A Design Dundee museum and together they make an inspiring excursion. Be amongst the first to experience the much-anticipated museum featuring art and design from Scotland and around the world.

The Falkirk Wheel & Kelpies Tour (tickets to both included)The Falkirk Wheel is a wonder of ingenuity and engineering; the world’s only rotating boatlift which allows boats to be lifted between two levels to join two canals together. We will experience this first-hand with a boat trip on the canal and lift. After lunch, we keep with the canal theme with a visit to the Kelpies. They are the world’s largest equine sculptures, modelled on the Clydesdale horses which pulled the barges and played a vital role in Scotland’s industrial past. They take on the name ‘Kelpies’ from mythical creatures that reside in lochs and rivers with the strength of 100 horses. A day to be inspired by both modern creations and industrial heritage.

Loch Lomond, the Trossachs & Steam Ship Cruise (ticket included)We start our stunning tour to the Trossachs with a visit to Callander, a popular tourist town situated on the River Teith and which is often described as ‘the gateway to the Highlands’. This lovely old town is crammed with teashops and cafes and an eclectic mix of craft and gift boutiques. Continuing our scenic tour through the Trossachs National Park, we reach Loch Katrine where you will have time for some lunch before our included cruise on the steam ship Sir Walter Scott. Sailing on this beautifully restored, historic steam ship is the ideal way to enjoy the stunning scenery celebrated in Sir Walter Scott’s poem ‘ The Lady of the Lake’. After disembarking, we continue our journey over the ‘Dukes Pass’ to Loch Lomond, where we will have a short stop on the ‘Bonny, Bonny Banks’.

Glen Coe & ObanToday we experience some of the most dramatic Highland landscapes in Scotland. We start by climbing to the wild expanse of Rannoch Moor, a vast stretch of land composed of blanket bog, lochans, rivers, and rocky outcrops, and one of the last remaining wildernesses in Europe. Next, we descend from the Moor into Glen Coe, guarded by the conical peak of ‘Buchaille Etive Mor’ and flanked by towering cliffs and buttresses. There will be time to stop and take photos, or just take in the stunning scenery. Then we take the coast road to Oban, where there will be time to explore the many shops, or perhaps visit the War and Peace Museum or Oban Distillery. We return to the hotel in the afternoon via Loch Etive, Loch Awe and Glen Lochy.

Dundee Discovery and V&A Museum (Discovery ticket included)When we heard that the V&A Museum, the world’s leading museum of art and design, was opening its much-anticipated £80 million museum in Dundee, we just had to go and look! We have included it as a first for coach tour customers in 2019 and will give you a chance to see designs from Scotland’s past, present and future. Perched on the banks of the Tay, this impressive building is designed to make it look like it is over the water. Alongside, on the Dundee waterfront, is the Royal Research Ship (RRS) Discovery; the ship built in Dundee in which Captain Scott of the Antarctic carried out his heroic voyage. Entry to this fascinating ship and Discovery Point museum are included on this exciting new excursion.

INCLUDED EXCURSIONS

Kyles of Bute & InverarayToday we head to south Argyll to the pretty little village of Tighnabruaich. Here, off the main tourist routes, we stop on the coast road for a breath-taking vista across the Kyles of Bute and can see over the Isle of Bute and across to Arran. We then follow the shores of Loch Fyne to Inveraray, with its beautiful lochside setting and many attractions. You may wish to visit the castle, seat of the Duke of Argyll, or perhaps the famous Jail Museum to get a taste of prison life in days gone by. There are plenty of shops and eateries to sample as you wander the main street.

Oban & LorneAfter breakfast we head back to the coast, arriving at the shores of Loch Etive. We cross the Falls of Lora by the Connel bridge. The falls are created at this narrow point by a lip of rock left behind by the last ice age that holds back the huge body of water in the loch, until the tide turns and the water all rushes out again. We make a circuit around inner Loch Creran, the next sea loch north of Loch Etive, before heading back to Connel and into the busy port of Oban. Gateway to the numerous Hebridean Isles, Oban is also known for its seafood and cafes. You may also wish to visit the War & Peace Museum which is run by volunteers or take a tour of Oban Distillery (with a wee dram of course!) or climb to McCaigs Tower or Pulpit Hill for wonderful views over the bay and beyond.

Glen Coe & Loch NessWe head north from Tyndrum, stopping at the Black Mount to look back at the majestic landscape of mountains and lochs that we have just left behind. Then on over the wilds of Rannoch Moor and through Glen Coe to reach the coast at Loch Linnhe. We follow the coast towards Fort William and Spean Bridge. After a brief stop, we follow the Great Glen (the huge geological fault line that splits the Highlands in two) and the route of the Caledonian Canal to reach the head of Loch Ness at Fort Augustus. Here you may wish to take a guided cruise on the loch to search for Nessie, or just watch boats navigate the canal locks. After lunch we head back with a stop at the Commando memorial above Spean Bridge, affording views towards Ben Nevis and the Mamore mountains.

After a short ferry crossing we head up through the island’s main town of Rothesay to Mount Stuart House. A tour of the House is included, and you will be amazed at the magnificent Victorian Gothic architecture. The Bute Collection is one of the foremost private collections of artworks and artefacts in the UK, which, together with the stunning architecture makes this visit an inspiration for the soul and the senses.

Set in a stunning 2,000-acre estate, the 18th century house with its unrivalled collection of original furniture has something for everyone.

Following your tour, lunch is also included and served in the House.

Glen Coe & ObanToday we experience some of the most dramatic Highland landscapes in Scotland. We start by climbing to the wild expanse of Rannoch Moor, a vast stretch of land composed of blanket bog, lochans, rivers, and rocky outcrops, and one of the last remaining wildernesses in Europe. Next, we descend from the Moor into Glen Coe, guarded by the conical peak of ‘Buchaille Etive Mor’ and flanked by towering cliffs and buttresses. There will be time to stop and take photos, or just admire the stunning scenery. Then we take the coast road to Oban, where there will be time to explore the many shops, or perhaps visit the War and Peace Museum or Oban Distillery. We return to the hotel in the afternoon via Loch Etive and Loch Awe.

Blair Castle & Pitlochry (Castle entry included)After breakfast we head east along the banks of Loch Tay to Blair Castle; the ancient seat and home to the Duke of Atholl, the only person in the UK to have a private army at his command. Made up of estate workers and ‘mates’ of the Duke, they can sometimes be seen ‘drilling’ in the grounds. We have included a tour of the castle and time to have a look around the beautiful gardens and gift shop. In the afternoon, we head down the glen to Pitlochry, one of Scotland’s most popular resorts. A handsome, stone-built town, known for its theatre and fish ladder, Pitlochry came to prominence because of the railway and Queen Victoria’s doctor advising people that Pitlochry air was good for their health. We enjoy some free time for some refreshment and a chance to explore the town’s shops and attractions.

The next day we head to Edinburgh where you will have time to look around and visit some of the many shops, cafes and attractions and marvel at the city’s unique skyline, dominated by the famous castle.

This beautifully kept town is a delight for the visitor, with its many attractions, shops and cafes and peaceful waterside setting.

Your driver will drop you in the centre from where you can explore in any direction for New Town, Old Town or perhaps some world-class retail therapy! Look out for the Kelpies sculptures and the famous bridges over the forth on the way there and back.

Glen Coe & ObanWe take the scenic route to Oban today, with a drive through Scotland’s most dramatic scenery, over Rannoch Moor and down through Glen Coe.

Train to Fort William, then ObanWe take the train to Fort William on part of the West Highland Line that shares the Hogwarts Express. The town is a major tourist centre at the foot of Ben Nevis. From the train you see some famous spots from the window, including the mystical Rannoch Moor, the place where Death Eaters board the train in the movie ‘Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows: Part 1’. In the afternoon we visit the seaside town of Oban, which is so much more than a port - it’s a thriving town which is well worth exploring. Amble the seaside streets, try samples in the chocolate shop and distillery, visit the ivy-clad castle and the town’s fascinating museum, and fill up on a lunch of smashing seafood and walk up to McCaig’s Tower for great views across Oban and the Inner Hebrides.

Glen Coe and Glenfinnan ViaductAfter a magical breakfast we visit Glen Coe with its dramatic landscape and volcanic origins featured as background shots throughout the Prisoner of Azkaban as well as various other Harry Potter films. However, it’s the iconic girl power moment when Hermione smashes Malfoy in the face which makes this location perhaps the most memorable of all. Next, we visit Glenfinnan and the viaduct; the 380 metres long and 31 metres high Victorian Railway Bridge is instantly recognisable from that opening scene in the Chamber of Secrets. The only thing this image is missing is Harry and Ron flying overhead in the Weasley’s magical Ford Anglia car. The head of the Loch Shiel is also the setting for where Harry encounters a Dementor for the very first time in the Prisoner of Azkaban, when the Hogwarts Express stops on the bridge. In the afternoon we visit the world-famous Commando Monument near Spean Bridge, erected to commemorate the service and sacrifice of the men and women who served their countries. The Monument is a major landmark and the views of Ben Nevis and the range of mountains which cross the eastern sky are amazing.

EdinburghThe capital of Scotland where J.K Rowling first began her Potter plotting way back in the early 90’s. Harry Potter fans would be mad to miss the distinct parallels Edinburgh’s medieval architecture, stony streets and winding alleys draw to the settings of the Harry Potter series. It was in the quaint cafés of Edinburgh where J.K first put pen to paper, crafting the opening chapters to what would become one of the most enchanting fantasy novels of all time: Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone.The Elephant House, self-branded as ‘The Birthplace of Harry Potter’, was J.K’s favourite café to get creative. Overlooking Edinburgh Castle, The Elephant House is where the magical world of witches and wizards was imagined. However, whilst much of The Chamber of Secrets and The Prisoner of Azkaban was written here, it’s actually Spoon café (then known as Nicholas Café) where J.K wrote the opening chapters of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. Either way, both cafés offer a chance to sit back in the surroundings of where it all began … whilst indulging on coffee & cakes of course. You can also see JK Rowling’s handprints set in stone at the Edinburgh City Chambers on the Royal Mile.

Autumn Tours | September - November 2019

Our newly acquired Muthu Fort William Hotel has made this exciting new tour possible. We reach the west coast’s ‘sea-food capital’ town of Oban on the first day, but it is our next excursion to the Isle of Skye that is the real highlight of this tour. The route through some of the finest Highland scenery to get to Skye is rewarding enough, but the Cuillin Mountains on the island are the real prize. We view them from many directions as we head to the picturesque harbour town of Portree. Next, we have a day at leisure in Fort William, followed by a day trip to Inverness and an included cruise on Loch Ness. A truly memorable Highland experience.

ObanAfter breakfast we follow the shores of Loch Linnhe along the coast road to Oban. There are fine views along the way of distant hills and nearby islands, including striking views of Castle Stalker, built by the Stewart Clan in the 15th century. We arrive in Oban with plenty of time for refreshment and to explore this bustling harbour town. In the afternoon we return via Tyndrum and Glen Coe to complete a memorable day out.

Isle of SkyeThe Isle of Skye is a wonderfully scenic destination, but we pass equally breath-taking scenery on the way. Heading up from Glen Garry there are wonderful vistas to behold, and further delights along Loch Cluanie and down Glen Shiel, site of the last battle against foreign troops on British soil, in 1719. We pass Eilean Donan castle and stop at the Kyle of Lochalsh before taking the road bridge over to Skye. We view the Cuillin mountains and have time to explore in Portree before making the return trip.

At Leisure in Fort WilliamToday we have the chance to explore Fort William and surroundings, or just take time to relax at the hotel.

Loch Ness Cruise & Inverness (cruise included)Following the route of the Caledonian Canal today brings us along the Great Glen to Fort Augustus at the southern end of Loch Ness. There is an included cruise, on a modern, well-equipped vessel with all necessary amenities and excellent commentary. Then we follow the shores of Loch Ness to spend time exploring Inverness, capital of the Highlands with its Victorian Market, castle and cathedral; this city really packs a lot into a small space!

Oban Harbour Edinburgh


This is a great value break in the Highlands to get you in the festive spirit. Your first excursion is to the picturesque town of Inveraray to explore its popular shops, cafes and attractions. Leaving the shores of Loch Fyne, we visit Loch Lomond on the same day to admire Scotland’s largest freshwater loch. Next, we take a scenic drive through Glen Coe and stop to appreciate the magnificent rock buttresses and dramatic slopes, before heading to Fort William, known as the ‘outdoor capital’ of the Highlands. A day at leisure in Oban will give you a chance to do some Christmas shopping, or just relax in your hotel overlooking the harbour. For the 6-day tour we have included a trip to the heart of rural Perthshire to sample the delights of hand-crafted whisky on an included tour of Glenturret Distillery - and lunch is included there too!

The magnificent castle, home to the Campbell Clan and the Duke of Argyll, sits just outside the town, whilst Inveraray Jail in the town centre is well worth a visit. After lunch we head to the shores of Loch Lomond for views of Ben Lomond and down the loch from the village of Tarbert. We return via the head of Loch Lomond and Tyndrum.

Glen Coe & Fort WilliamWe start our day with a scenic drive through Glen Coe, which is perhaps Scotland’s most historic and scenic glen. We make time for a photo-stop and to appreciate the magnificent surroundings. We arrive in Fort William, the outdoor capital of Scotland, lying in the shadow of Ben Nevis. The town offers a wide range of shops and restaurants and we will have ample time to explore all it has to offer.


Glenturret Distillery & Lunch (6-day tour only & tour and lunch included)Today we travel to rural Perthshire and visit the Glenturret Distillery at Crieff. Home to the Famous Grouse Experience for several years, the distillery itself has been producing hand-crafted whisky from the clear waters of the River Turret since the early 17th century.

Booking and PaymentWhen a booking is made, the ‘lead name’ on the booking guarantees that he or she is 18 or over and has the authority and accepts on behalf of the party the terms of these booking conditions and pays the deposit indicated in the brochure and as confirmed in the pre-contract information. After we receive your booking and all appropriate payments, if the arrangements you wish to book are available, we will send you or your booking agent a confirmation invoice within 14 days. This confirmation will include any special requests we have agreed. All monies paid to your booking agent are held by them on your behalf until we issue our confirmation invoice, thereafter your booking agent holds the money on our behalf. A binding agreement will come into existence between us when we dispatch this invoice to the ‘lead name’ or your booking agent. Please check the confirmation carefully to ensure all the information is correct. This contract is governed by English Law, and the jurisdiction of the English Courts.

Single occupancy of rooms, when available, may be subject to a supplementary charge and these will be shown in the brochure. You can book by paying a deposit for each person named on the booking, but our commitment is always conditional upon the balance being paid as below;Deposit £35.00 per person.

If the balance is not paid in time we reserve the right to cancel your holiday, retain your deposit, and apply the cancellation charges set out in the paragraph below. The date of cancellation will normally be the date we receive your written confirmation that you intend to cancel or 15 days after the balance due date, whichever comes first.

We will however, not be liable if there are any unforeseeable or unavoidable actions of a third party not connected with our travel services, or there were unavoidable or extraordinary circumstances, or the lack of conformity is due to a traveller in the party. We accept responsibility for the acts and/or omissions of our employees, agents and suppliers except where they lead to death, injury or illness. Our liability in all cases shall be limited to a maximum of twice the value of the original holiday cost (not including insurance premiums and amendment charges). We accept responsibility for death, injury, or illness caused by the negligent acts and/or omissions of our employees or agents together with our suppliers and sub-contractors, servants and/or agents of the same whilst acting within the scope of, or during their employment in the provision of your holiday. We will accordingly pay to our clients such damages as might have been awarded in such circumstances under English Law. In respect of carriage by air, sea, tunnel and rail and the provision of accommodation our liability in all cases will be limited in the manner provided by the relevant international convention.

If we make any payment to you or any member of your party for death or personal injury or illness, you will be asked to assign to us or our insurers the rights you may have to act against the person or organisation responsible for causing the death, personal injury or illness. This clause does not apply to any separate contracts that you may enter for excursions or activities during or outside of your holiday. If you or any member of your party suffer death, illness or injury whilst overseas arising out of an activity which does NOT form part of your holiday, we may offer guidance and where legal action is contemplated and you want our assistance, you must obtain our written consent prior to any proceedings (We limit the cost of our assistance to you or your party to £5,000 per party)

10. If you have a complaintIf you have a problem during your holiday, please inform your Hotel Manager, your driver or the relevant supplier/resort representative immediately who will endeavour to put things right. Our contact number, for unresolved complaints will be our office number on 01838 200444 (open in office hours). If you remain dissatisfied please follow this up within 14 days of your return home by writing to Highland Coaches Ltd giving your original booking reference number and all other relevant information. It is therefore a condition of this contract that you communicate any problem to the supplier of the services in question AND to our representative whilst in resort. If you fail to follow this simple procedure, we cannot accept responsibility as we have been deprived of the opportunity to investigate and rectify the problem. Should you wish to pursue the complaint further, the BCH/CPT have an Alternative Dispute Resolution scheme and full details are available from them. Please contact them at, The Confederation of Passenger Transport UK, Fifth Floor South, Chancery House, 53 – 64 Chancery lane, London WC2A 1QS

8. Alterations to your holiday by usWe hope that we will not have to make any change to your holiday but, because our holidays are planned many months in advance, we sometimes do need to make minor changes. We reserve the right to do this at any time. We will let you or your booking agent know about any important changes as soon as possible, including the minimum number of passengers required on the trip. If after booking, and before departure, we make a major change to your holiday, you will have the option of withdrawing from the holiday without penalty or transferring to another holiday without any charge. In either case, we will pay you compensation, according to the scale set below. A major change includes the time of your departure or return time by more than 12 hours, a change in departure point, location of resort or type of hotel, a change in cross channel travel, or specification of the coach. If we tell you about any of these changes after we have confirmed your holiday booking (other than force majeure), you may either: - accept the new arrangements offered by us; or - accept a replacement holiday from us of equivalent or similar standard and price (at the date of the change), if we can offer you one; or - cancel your holiday with us and receive a full refund of all monies. Either way, we will pay you compensation, using the Compensation table shown:

11. Our CoachesWe will always use our reasonable endeavours to provide a coach to the specification in our brochure or advert but reserve the right to substitute an alternative vehicle should there be unforeseen circumstances. There is a seating plan but, in some cases, operational reasons may require a coach with a different configuration. We reserve the right to alter a coach seating plan and allocate seats other than those booked. Single passengers may be required to share a double seat with other single passengers. When your booking is confirmed, you will be offered the best seats that are available at that time. If you feel that you require two seats, then these must be booked and paid for in advance, at the time of booking. If you fail to do this and it transpires that the seat allocated to you is insufficient for your needs and there is no alternative seating available, then you will be refused access to the coach and any payments made will be liable to forfeiture.

Specific seats will not be allocated on coaches operating a feeder service between joining points and main holiday departure points or on coaches that carry out transfers between airports, seaports etc.

12. Hotel facilitiesSome hotel facilities and entertainment may be withdrawn for routine maintenance or be subject to seasonal availability and provision of the facilities cannot be guaranteed. Single occupancy of rooms may be subject to a supplementary charge.

13. Health and SafetySome people may be at risk from discomfort or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) if they remain immobile on a journey for a long period. If you are planning to undertake a journey of more than three hours, you should consult your doctor, if you have ever had DVT, pulmonary embolism, a family history of clotting conditions, cancer or treatment for cancer, stroke, and heart or lung disease or If you have had major surgery in the past three months.

We reserve the right to refuse any booking in the absence of a doctor’s certificate confirming that you are fit to travel. Where we provide comfort stops you are encouraged to walk around. Exercise reduces any discomfort, which may be caused by periods of immobility.

NO SMOKING is allowed on our coaches (including E-Cigarettes) and we do not allow pets or any other animals, although we accommodate registered assistance dogs, but not on overseas holidays.

14. Travel documents, itineraries, pick-up points and passportsYou are responsible for ensuring you are at the correct departure point, at the correct time and with the correct documents. Highland Coaches Ltd reserve the right to modify itineraries to conform with requests from competent authorities both within the UK and abroad.

Excursions which are included in the cost of your booking are detailed on the brochure page and refunds will not be made for excursions not taken. Optional excursions booked and paid for in resort do not form part of your booking. Admission fees to buildings may not be included in the price of the holiday, please check.

15. Special RequestsAll special needs and requests should be communicated at the time of booking and be included in the confirmation of the holiday. These cannot be guaranteed except where confirmed as part of our holiday commitment to you and are detailed on your holiday booking confirmation. We are keen to ensure that we plan the arrangements for your holiday so that special needs and requests can be accommodated as far as possible. If you will need assistance or may be unable to fully enjoy all aspects of your holiday, you must tell us in advance so that we can maximise your enjoyment of the holiday. We will need to know if you will need special facilities in the hotel, taking part in the excursions or have difficulty boarding and travelling on the coach or other means of transport. Before booking your holiday, you should be sure that you and your party are both physically and mentally capable of completing the itinerary. If you need advice or further information either you or your booking agent should contact Highland Coaches Ltd. If you will require a special diet please tell us at the time of booking, or as soon as you are medically advised, together with a copy of the diet.

16. Passengers with disabilitiesWe want everyone to enjoy our travel arrangements. We are happy to advise and assist you in choosing a suitable holiday. But, as some of the accommodation and resorts featured may not cater for even minor disabilities, it is important that, when booking, you advise us of any disability, specific need or complex need you may have and any special requirements that will make sure the holiday is suitable. If a passenger requires personal assistance (for example, assistance with feeding, dressing, toileting, mobilising) then this passenger must travel with an able-bodied companion or carer and written confirmation that such assistance will be provided for the entirety of the holiday is required at the time of booking. Coach drivers/Tour Managers are unable to provide such assistance.

IMPORTANTYou must tell us if you have an existing medical condition, disability or complex need that may affect your holiday or other group members’ enjoyment of it before you book your holiday. We reserve the right to request a doctor’s certificate confirming the passenger is fit to travel. If, in our reasonable opinion, your chosen holiday is not suitable for your medical condition or disability, we reserve the right to refuse your booking. You are responsible for bringing with you the proper clothing and equipment, which we advise you about in our printed trip information. We want you to enjoy your holiday and will help you select an appropriate trip.

17. Passenger BehaviourWe want all our customers to have a happy and carefree holiday. You are responsible for your behaviour and hygiene and the effect it may have on others. If you or any other member of your party is abusive, disruptive or behaves in a way that could cause damage or injury to others or affect their enjoyment of their holiday or which could damage property, we have the right to terminate your contract with us and we will have no further liability or obligation to you. The coach driver/representative, ship’s captain, or authorised official is entitled to refuse you boarding if in their reasonable opinion you are unacceptably under the influence of drink or drugs or you are being violent or disruptive. If you are refused boarding on the outward journey we will regard it as a cancellation by you and we will apply cancellation charges. If the refusal is on your return journey, we have the right to terminate the contract with you. We also request that mobile telephones are not used on the coach.

18. Travel InsuranceWe strongly advise that you take out personal travel insurance for the trip. We have arranged comprehensive travel insurance with Wrightsure (Hampshire) Ltd., which is outlined on our website and in our brochure. You may use an alternative insurer, but you must advise us. The insurance should cover medical and repatriation costs, personal injury, loss of baggage and cancellation charges. If you do not have adequate insurance and require our assistance during your holiday, we reserve the right to reclaim from you any medical repatriation or other expenses which we may incur on your behalf which would otherwise have been met by insurers. You must advise us if you use an alternative insurer, the policy number and 24-hour contact number.

19. LuggagePlease restrict your luggage to a suitcase weighing no more than 20 kgs per person. We cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to luggage unless through our negligence. Please do not leave valuable items in your suitcase when left on the coach. Please contact us for our policy on mobility scooters.
