Meals & Drinks

A good breakfast is always included to help you start the day. We also include a three-course dinner on most evenings . Where we stay two nights in a hotel then dinner will be included on the first evening, leaving you free to dine at your leisure on the second evening, although we do offer recommendations in the tour book. When the hotel is rural and there is nowhere else nearby to dine, we shall include dinners.

Half a bottle of wine per person is included with each dinner. Please let us know when booking if you don’t drink wine so we can make alternative arrangements.

Each car is given one of our famed, very comprehensive Tour Books with easy-to-follow, narrative-style directions. We also include route maps, hotel details, and lots of information on everything to do, see and visit each day. The tour book also has lots of useful and interesting information about the country or region you’re visiting. All cars on our escorted tours will be given a good, clear and detailed road atlas showing the areas you’re travelling through. Tour packs also include a rally plate, pen & highlighter, and window sticker. Each tour pack will come in a clear plastic zip folder to keep it dry and secure – ideal for open cars in particular. On some longer tours we also give branded clothing or bags.

Any parking charges are always included within the tour price. All taxes, resort fees and applicable gratuities are also included.
