One of the most perfectly preserved medieval cities in Europe, Bruges has been one of our most popular destinations for many years. Famous for its lace shops, magnificent churches and, of course, chocolate.

A holiday in Bruges is like taking a trip back in time as you wander through cobbled streets surrounded by historic buildings as horse drawn carriages go by and a trip on one of the canal boats gives you a unique view of ‘the Venice of the north’.

One of the best city break destinations in Northern Europe.

Centrally located, the 4* Hotel Portinari is situated directly opposite the central fountain with an array of pavement bars and cafes close by where you can watch the world go by.

Duties and taxes Even in this case, we will absorb an amount equivalent to 2% of the holiday price, which excludes any insurance premium, and any amendment charges. Only amounts in excess of this 2% will be surcharged.

If this means paying more than an extra 10% on the holiday price, you will be entitled to cancel your holiday with a full refund of all money paid. Should you decide to cancel because of this, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on the revised invoice. Alternatively, you may prefer to take a comparable alternative holiday, if available, details of which will

be provided with the revised invoice.

Morning coffee, afternoon tea and other refreshments are not included. Some hotels may make a small additional charge for porterage and tea or coffee served after lunch and dinner.

Gratuities to the hotel staff and driver/courier are discretionary.

5. WHAT HAPPENS TO COMPLAINTS All complaints that we receive are thoroughly investigated and customers kept informed at each stage of the investigation.

Sometimes the investigations can take time awaiting response from hoteliers. We can normally agree an amicable settlement of the few complaints we receive.

Arbitration Conditions.

Disputes arising out of or in connection with this contract which cannot be amicably settled, may (if the customer so wishes) be referred to arbitration under a special Scheme which, though devised by arrangements with the Confederation of Passenger Transport, is administered quite independently by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The Scheme (details of which will be supplied on request ) provides a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with the restricted liability on the customer in respect of costs. The Scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £1,500.00 per person. There is also a limit of £7,500.00 per bookings form. Neither does it apply to claims which are solely or mainly in respect of physical injury or illness or the consequences of such injury or illness.
