GUIDED TOURS 
We use Quality B&B's / Guest houses or Small Hotel Accommodation
Tours costs reflect the cost of a guide. 

LUGGAGE TRANSFER COSTS
The number of luggage moves during a tour, direct distance by vehicle and the number of tour participants are used to calculate baggage transfer costs.
Recently fuel costs have risen. We therefore offer singe base, twin base and circular tours with more than one overnight stay in some places to minimise costs.
For a tour with 4 or 5 luggage transfer moves of around 30 miles there and back, a charge may be £80 to £100.

We can pickup and return from Lockerbie and Dumfries railway stations and at Prestwick, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle airports for groups of up to 7.
