7 IMPORTANT INFORMATION If for any reason you are unable to attend a visit or meal pre-booked by European Study Tours, please advise us (prior to your tour departure) or the visit centre directly (whilst on tour) as in many cases full payment may be passed on to your group for a no-show. Should you anticipate a late arrival, please advise the visit or restaurant directly to avoid the possible non-provision of your planned visit or meal. This is particularly important for guided visits where the guide may have other scheduled commitments. If a visit has not been organised by EST it is outside the contracted arrangements. Group leaders are reminded to satisfy themselves about the suitability of the visit and the health and safety arrangements in place.
