How Secure is my Booking?
As soon as we receive your booking, we check that you have provided all the details we need (hotel name, correct day etc) and then we make the booking with the relevant supplier. With most of our suppliers we call them and get instant confirmation by phone. Some suppliers require us to send the booking to them by email as they either need to book components with a third party (eg bus transfer to a boat trip) or for smaller operators, they may be out on a tour and will reply with confirmation as soon as they back in the office. Most bookings will be confirmed within a few hours. At weekends or overnight it may take a little longer as we are not in the office around the clock and neither are our suppliers, but we aim to confirm all bookings within 24 hours. If there is any delay in confirmation for any reason we will keep you updated by email.
If you have booked for a date that isn't available (either fully booked, or you've chosen a date that a trip does not operate on) we will contact you straight away and offer you an alternative date/time or option. If this alternative is not suitable for you then we would cancel your booking and refund the payment. (Please note that card payments processed by Stripe can take 5-10 days to show back on your account)
Our online payments are securely processed by either Stripe (for card payments) or Paypal for your protection.
If you are booking for something departing within 24 hours (48 hours at peak season) then there is a chance the tour will be full, BUT we will always try! If you are booking last minute you can either email us first so we can check availability or you can go ahead and make the booking and we will try our best to book you (If you are flexible with dates then this option usually works out well) Please bear in mind that if we need to refund your payment and you have paid by card, it can take up to 10 days to show back on your account.

Tickets
Most of our excursions and activities do not require a physical ticket of any kind. Many of our suppliers work the old fashioned way with just a list of names and pick up locations that they tick off as they collect you. You do not need to worry about printing any paperwork.
All excursion bookings will be confirmed by email only. We will not sent anything by post.
For some tours which include coach travel we will send you an e-ticket which contains pick up details and emergency contact numbers. This does not need to be printed but you can show it to the guide on the coach on your phone if it is convenient for you. For all other bookings we will provide pick up details and any contact numbers you may need in your confirmation email.
The exception to this is the Stardust show where we will email you a ticket with a code to be scanned at the door.
