Guernsey & the Isle of Sark

Day 1 Fly from the UK to Guernsey. Local transfer to the hotel where you are based for the next four nights. Dinner is served this evening at the hotel. Prices are based on a London departure from Gatwick. Regional departures are available on request. Additional charges may apply.

Day 2 A half day tour of the island with a local operator to explore the beautiful scenery, beaches and look-out points. You will see the dramatic landscape differences between the North and South of the island along the way. Also on your island tour you will learn about Guernsey’s fascinating connection with World War II and see evidence of this preserved all over the island.

Day 3 This morning the coach will transfer you from the hotel to St Peter Port to embark on a full day excursion by boat to the sleepy Isle of Sark.  Only 50 minutes by boat, this picturesque island is the perfect escape. Its combination of peace, tranquillity and abundance of plants and seabirds create an enchanting environment. There is no motorised traffic on the island and life is lived at a different pace. Tractor transport takes you from the ferry up Harbour Hill to the village and, from there, you take a relaxing carriage ride around the island. During your time on Sark you have the opportunity to visit the beautiful gardens of La Seigneurie (admission not included), the former home of the Seigneur (Lord of the Manor). Although the house is private, the gardens are RHS recommended. Time at leisure before the return boat back to St Peter Port.

Day 4 Enjoy a day at leisure. Local buses are available into St. Peter Port.

Important Notes

The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 require us to provide security for the monies that you pay for the package holidays booked from this brochure and for your repatriation from abroad in the event of our insolvency. We provide this security by way of a bond held by ABTA (W9928). Air tours are ATOL protected by the Civil Aviation Authority. Our ATOL number is ATOL 3683. Please see our booking conditions for more information.

For the latest travel advice from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office including security and local laws, plus passport and visa information see www.gov.uk/travelaware. 

Due to the way in which the airline reservation systems and schedules operate, the air fares, taxes and airports cannot be guaranteed until the flights are booked, paid for in full and tickets issued.  In view of this, the final brochure may include an estimate of the likely air fare and taxes. This may result in the final tour price being varied from the advertised price.  In the event that the air fare is lower than estimated, we will pass on the saving by reducing the tour price.  However, if the air fare is higher than estimated or if we have to use an alternative airline at a higher fare, we reserve the right to increase the tour price accordingly.  In the event that the air fare is higher than estimated, the tour price may be increased by a maximum of 10%.  Should the increase in tour price exceed this amount, then you will have the right to cancel without penalty as per our standard booking conditions.  If however the price alters within the stated parameters (above) and you still wish to cancel, our normal cancellation charges will apply. If a change of airport is necessary, we will agree it with the Group Organiser before booking the flights. If the proposed change of airport is “significant”, as defined by clause 10 of our Booking Conditions, you will have the right to cancel your booking and receive a full refund.

Please be advised that the Channel Islands are not EU members and that GHIC cards therefore have no validity on any of the islands. There is no reciprocal health agreement between the Channel Islands and the UK, meaning that any health treatment received whilst visiting the islands will incur charges. Travel insurance will be required.

British Nationals do not require a passport for travel to The Irish Republic or to the Channel Islands.  It is recommended (essential if travelling by air) however, that photographic ID be taken.  A British driving licence or indeed a passport would suffice.  If you are not a British National, please ask us for advice.

At the time of printing this information, there are no mandatory health requirements for visitors to Guernsey (covid-19 requirements may apply). British Nationals will require a full 10 year passport. Requirements governing passport validity vary and we would therefore recommend that you consider early renewal if your passport is due to expire within 6 months of the tour’s return.  A visa is not required for British Nationals.  If you are not a British National, please ask us for advice.

At any time prior to the tour departure, we reserve the right to make changes (of equal value or difference will be refunded) to attractions, visits and excursions should such suppliers’ requirements and/or unforeseeable circumstances make it essential to do so.  During the tour, details in the itinerary may be subject to alteration at the discretion of the tour manager and in accordance with the wishes of a clear majority of the passengers. We reserve the right to cancel this tour not later than 10 weeks before departure, if insufficient bookings have been received to justify its departure.
