Escorted tours are the ideal way to experience a chosen destination, for a variety of reasons and they are the perfect way for those that have limited amount of time to see all of the highlights of a region or nation. Immerse yourself in the culture and history from Paris 3 days to Grand Europe itineraries, we have something to suit all or we can build the tour to your needs.

What happens next?

Step 1 - For general information and advice, please send as an email to info@startours.co.uk

Step 2 - Once we have received your enquiry by email, we will produce a no obligation quote for your group with an individual reference number. This will detail cost, hotel and itinerary options and deposit required. Please discuss this with your group. We will call to confirm receipt of the offer and be in touch to gauge feedback and discuss suggested changes. We can create promotional material to encourage interest in the proposed tour.

Step 3 - When you have sufficient interest and want to proceed, please contact us and we will ask the hotel to reserve rooms while you collect deposits. We will send you a booking form to sign and passenger information forms to complete. These forms will ask for names, DOB, passport details and room type.

Step 4 - Return the signed Booking form along with your non-refundable deposit of 25%. The payment should be made by one person who is the Group Leader via cheque or bank transfer. Cheques should be made payable to Star Tours Ltd.
For tours with a flight element, we may not be able to hold air seats. So, deposits and names as per passport will be needed at the time of confirmation. Once this is done, some airlines may charge to amend names or spellings so it is important to get them correct first time.

Step 5 - We will send you a confirmation to show breakdown of cost and balance dates. Passenger Information forms can be returned between date of booking and balance date.

Step 6 - We will be in contact to remind you of balance date, advice missing traveller details and reconfirm final details. On your return, we will be in touch as we would be pleased to receive feedback from you and your group.
