GF Degli Squali 2021 – Cancelled due to Covid-19 travel restrictions

We believe we are the first tour operator to offer our customers the option to pay via instalment at no extra charge. It’s very simple how it works , please see the table below and payments must be made by standing order,

If you wish to pay via instalments it will be a £100 deposit , and please ask for the monthly payment, the amount obviously this depends when you book. The earlier you book the lower the monthly cost.

if not then it’s £50 deposit and balance on 1/3/2021 – see “What and when to Pay” section   

Please note monthly payments must reach us on the last week day of the month. A missed payment will result in the full balance being due by the 14th of the following missed payment month, failure to pay the due balance will result in all previous payments being non-refundable and your booking cancelled.

If at any point you cancel your booking our terms and conditions fall into play – please refer to our 21 days refund terms.

If you require further information/clarification on monthly payments please do not hesitate to contact us via email or phone .

Please note Single room supplement is not included , neither is bike transport, the latter is a complete separate payment.
