How to book a self-guided walking holiday

Your step-by-step guide to booking a Touching Nature walking holiday…

step 1 Choose a holiday from this website.  Then decide on the date you wish to travel, if possible with alternative starting dates in case your first choice is not available.  Add any extra nights you may want to book.
step 2 Find a suitable flight and hire car (see travel planner) – but DON’T book just yet. Please do not commit to flights and car hire until we have confirmed your chosen date is available.  We cannot be held liable, in cases where the dates you require are not available, for losses incurred relating to any flight / hire car or other travel bookings you have made.

step 3

Request a booking.  Simply complete our secure booking request form.  Be sure to read our booking conditions as well.  Insert the price as given on this website, adding the cost of any extras such as single supplement or extra nights.  All payments must be made in Euros.  We require a credit card deposit (Visa or MasterCard) to confirm the booking.  If you book more than 4 weeks prior to the start of your holiday, we require a non-refundable deposit of 15% of the total cost per person.  However, if your booking is received within 4 weeks of your holiday, the total cost will be payable immediately. 

In case our partner hotel is booked out we will propose alternative dates or the most suitable alternative hotel if one is available.  The alternative will be offered to you at a similar cost via email and you will have 48 hours from the time you made the booking request to accept this alternative, once accepted your credit card will be charged.  If you do not choose the alternative offered your booking request will automatically be cancelled without payment. 

   
step 4

On receipt of your completed booking request form and deposit we will send you an email confirming your booking. With this email you will also receive a confirmation invoice (attachment in PDF format) outlining the holiday price, the deposit received, the amount and the date the balance payment is due.  Please allow up to 2 working days for your booking to be processed and for the confirmation email to reach you.

 
step 5 Organise and book your flights, car hire or Channel crossing (if self-drive), and, if applicable, travel insurance (see travel planner).
step 6

Pay the balance no later than 4 weeks before departure. Balance payment may be made by credit card or international money transfer in Euros direct to our bank account.  

When completing the booking request form you can opt to have the balance automatically charged to your credit card account 4 weeks before the date of your walking holiday. Alternatively, there is a pay balance form (for final payments by credit card) on this website.

Please note that we do not issue reminder statements. If we do not receive the balance by the date shown on your confirmation invoice, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and cancellation charges will apply.

   
step 7 After full and final payment for your walking holiday has been received, and usually around 3–4 weeks before your walking holiday commences, we will post your tour pack, hotel voucher and other documents.
