If you find you are not able to keep up with the group, or if we feel that you are not suited to your chosen Pilgrimage either due to unfitness, inadequate kit, etc, then we reserve the right to change you to another Pilgrimage at a later date.
Financial Protection:
We are a small business with reserves to cover our liability at all times. So in the unlikely event of financial failure, we will be able to return any monies paid towards future holidays that we are not able to provide. We adher to the majority of the relevant provisions of the European Package Travel Directive.

Guided Pilgrimage will accept responsibility for the arrangements we agree to provide or arrange for you as an “organiser”. Subject to these Booking Conditions, if we or our suppliers negligently perform or arrange the services which we are obliged to provide for you under our contract with you, as set out on your confirmation invoice, we will discuss a form of redress with you being guided by our own insurance provisions.
However Guided Pilgrimage is not liable for any injury, damage, loss caused by any sub-contracted services such as accommodation or transport or through force majeure or circumstances which could not have been predicted.

These Booking Conditions are governed by English law and we both agree that the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, claim or other matter which may arise between us (unless you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in which case you can bring proceedings in your local court under Scottish or Northern Irish law, as applicable).
