How do I purchase insurance?

We highly recommend obtaining comprehensive travel insurance, ensuring you won't need to worry about emergencies that can happen anytime, anywhere, before or during your travels. Insurance can cover the cost of your airfare, as well as your tour(s) in the case of an unforeseen cancellation. It ensures that you do not have to worry about any unplanned changes to your travel plans, such as having to rush home to an ill family member or having a tour changed or cancelled because of a natural disaster. It can even help with smaller things - like lost luggage or stolen cameras. When selecting a travel insurance policy we recommend a minimum coverage of USD 200,000 for repatriation and emergency rescue. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, medical, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Before you book your tour, you're welcome to obtain a quote with TourRadar's insurance partner, Cover Genius, and check out the policy details by clicking into the date you're looking to travel from the tour details page. You'll see the Insurance Add-On section with all the details there! If you have already booked your tour, you're welcome to add insurance to your booking with TourRadar's insurance partner, Cover Genius, by clicking the "Get Travel Insurance" button from the right-hand side of your booking conversation page and you'll be able to add this straight away. Do keep in mind that insurance requires payment upfront at the time of confirmation so we will be taking payment straight away from the card on file when your insurance policy is confirmed.

Will we get free time whilst on the tour?

On each tour, Brendan Vacations offers you the perfect balance of exploring with the group and also relaxing in your own free time.

I have a special dietary request, can this be accommodated?

If you have any dietary requests such as vegetarian, diabetic, gluten-free etc this can be accommodated for on the tour. Please let our team know at the time of booking of your dietary requests so Brendan Vacations can do everything they can to have the suitable meals for you on tour.

Are airport transfers included?

In regards to airport transfers if you are joining or departing your guided tour on the first or last day, return transfers between the airport and hotel are generally included however it can vary depending on the departure. If you would like to pre-arrange a transfer please let our team of travel experts know at the time of booking.

How much luggage can I bring with me?

On the tour, you can bring one suitcase per traveller with the dimensions of 76cm x 46cm x 25cm (30" x 18" x 10") but it must not weigh more than 23kg (50 lbs) due to the limited space on the coach. You can also bring one piece of hand luggage, provided it is small enough to take on the coach and can fit in the overhead storage space.

Will we have a seat rotation on the tour?

Once you are on the tour your Travel Director will implement a seat rotation system, whereby all guests will rotate their seats on the coach daily. This allows everyone to experience the spectacular views from different seats, and you will get to know your fellow travellers even better.

When will I receive my travel documents?

You will receive your travel documents approximately one to two weeks prior to the departure of your tour. These documents are valuable and contain plenty of advice and essential information to make your tour as enjoyable as possible.

Kevin, you’re wonderful. So positive and knowledgeable. The overall tour was great. The most disappointing MEAL was served at the Scottish Engineer. Inedible! Almost 200$ for two. The show was okay. The weather did deter us from spending time on the Isle of Skye. We could not see the slaughter field of Culloden as we arrived after hours in the dark due to weather and early sunset. We had many comfort stops. We saw phenomenal views. The hotels were warm, clean, staff was friendly and accommodating.Show more
