boundaries of our contract with them. Where contracted operators are used on
your chosen tour you are responsible to read and agree to the terms of their
contract also. These will be given to you upon request. Where
a tour involves flight transfer
to the tour start point 2 Wheel Travel will act as agents for the ATOL

package, all monies paid will be held in trust for the duration of the tour and
only released 24 hours after the end of the tour. Furthermore in compliance with
the Package tour regulations 1993 your tour will be protected from insolvency of

cover against cancellation or curtailment, we can offer such a policy to you at the
time of your booking.
By
us: Due
to insufficient numbers and some unforeseen reasons it is sometimes necessary to
cancel a pre planned tour. In this event we will notify you immediately the
decision is taken. You
will in some cases be given the option to pay a supplemental charge to cover the
shortfall and with your agreement the tour will proceed as planned. In other
cases or if you decide not to take the aforementioned option you will be given a
full refund of all monies paid to us. This will represent full settlement. We

curtailment on your part for whatever reason will result in the total loss of
all monies paid.
