At Trafalgar, we plan to show you a great deal and always endeavour to make the most of every day of your holiday. In order to make that possible, we thank you in advance for your punctuality, which affords all our guests the opportunity to enjoy their time with us to the fullest. Departure time is the time when everyone is seated comfortably and the coach is pulling away from the hotel or rest stop. The savvy traveller will always allow themselves enough time for bathroom visits, settling bills and slow elevators. Your Travel Director will choreograph the day to enhance the itinerary and go out of their way to ensure that those all-important timings are clearly explained. They will also provide you with a contact number should you be in need of assistance. Sightseeing is included in your itinerary and will generally involve a fair amount of walking and standing (as well as sitting). There are a number of terms used to describe sightseeing activities in the itinerary and there are slight differences in their meaning: A day to relax – No planned activities; time for Optional Experiences or other independent activities. Your Travel Director will be able to assist you with providing ideas and suggestions to match your interests and get the most out of the day. Orientation tour – Places of interest are pointed out, allowing you to go and explore them on your own. See – Observe sights while passing by on your coach, cruise or train. Sightseeing trip - A Local Specialist will accompany you on a trip of a city or site. Time to relax and discover – Free time on your own. View – A brief stop to enjoy the sights and take some photos. Visit – A stop with time to enjoy a specific site. “Why not see” or “perhaps enjoy” – These phrases refer to Optional Experiences not included in the trip package but which are available for an additional fee. Your Travel Director will be happy to provide you with information regarding these, or other ways in which to spend your free time.
