Booking Conditions

We cannot return your deposit if you cancel, though it is sometimes possible to defer a deposit to another holiday in the same year if we are able to fill your original place. This deferred deposit will reduce the cost of the new holiday overall, but can only be deferred once your original place is filled.

We will return the balance of your holiday if we are able to refill your place. We will deduct an admin fee of £10 in both these situations.

We cannot adjust the basic price of the holiday if you arrive late, have to leave early, or if you decide not to walk on one or more of the days. With our foreign holidays, we cannot accept responsibility if you miss your flight due to arriving later at check-in time we have stated.

We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule an advertised walk for reasons of safety, or to change the advertised guide should she suddenly become unavailable. The decision of the WalkingWomen guide running the holiday has to be final in matters of safety, route choice, inclusion of dogs other than Assistance dogs, and questions as to the composition of the walking group if you have chosen a grade that is well beyond your capability.

Dogs are only allowed on holidays at certain hotels & B&B so please ask us if you are frightened of or allergic to dogs, and please talk to us first if you wish to bring your dog to a holiday staying at one of these hotels so that we can tell you what conditions/restrictions apply.

Insurance now essential abroad
It essential that you take out sickness and injury insurance if you are booking a holiday with us abroad (insurance against theft or cancellation is also very highly recommended). Additionally it pays to travel in Europe with an E1.11 Form from your post office to reduce any medical charges payable at the time if you are ill or hurt. If you want very competitive annual insurance, try Essential Travel on 0870 343 0314 or
Columbus Direct Insurance on 0800 9801030. Columbus will also take an additional 10% off is you say you're booking with WalkingWomen.
Age Concern (0845 601 2234) is the most competitive insurance we've found if you are over 65 years. If you hear of a direct insurance company offering better rates, please do let us know!
