We get occasional requests about availability on particular trips.

The bookings for most of our trips are held on a computer reservation system to which other people have access. As each booking comes to our office, we enter it on this system and your place(s) is/are then guaranteed.

If you ask about availability we go back to you, and say, yes, at the moment there are is the space you request (or no, as the case may be).

Chances are it will then be a day later that your booking comes in; by this time the spaces may be gone. Most of our trips are unique - not offered by any other operator - so it's generally best to secure your places with us first and then make other arrangements round that.

So it's best just to complete the booking form and submit - that gives you the best chance of getting space on a trip.
